2009

it feels good to be out by the river after work, simple friend-dinners, cool river breezes, walkways lingering silently devoid of the normal sun, office buzz and gawking tourists… it’s so quiet that even the restaurant staff but beckon halfheartedly at us, so quiet that even the lights around us seem dark. i think the [...]

nor happiness, nor love

It’s friday, and the clock says 20th November 2009. I suppose we have trickled past midnight, just so. barely so. and then it ticks further and further, an irreversible hourglass dripping with finitely small grains of sands.

I wish there were easier ways to follow [...]
