My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • There was a time when I didn’t need to knowThere was a time when I thought the answer was clearThere was a time when I imagined it didn’t really matterIf I ever found you There was a time when I didn’t want to knowThere was a time when I thought there were no answers to fearThere was a time when I imagined it would only make me sadderIf I ever found you Now…

  • The sky is a perfect blueAs I make my way back to you. The clouds make a perfect blanket of whiteAs I imagine being in your arms tonight.

  • A bit delayed as I play catch up with my life, but I took an 8-day trip to Egypt during my first term break. Living in the UAE makes it very convenient to travel to a number of countries. As Egypt has been on my top 3 list since I was 8-years-old, I figured that was the best place to start. Check out the daily adventures from my trip on Blogger!!! More trips…

Every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it’s a part of God, or what we call God, and it can never die.Gregory David Roberts in _Shantaram_
