100th post and still going
On July 6th 2010 this blog was born. Born out of my desire to carry on writing following my graduation which meant I couldn't write for student papers anymore. It began as a creative outlet, when my creativity felt stifled by other parts of my life. It has become so much more than that though. … Continue reading 100th post and still going
Be warned this is not going to be big on dignity
Ice-skating, as described by The National History Museum, London, is " London's most spectacular winter attraction". In my own words its hell, hell on ice. My friends have been badgering me for many months to go ice-skating, "it'll be amazing", "we are going to have so much fun", they'd threaten.

The Work to Play Equilibrium
Balance, it seems, is somewhat of an illusive character. Not in terms of being able to stand up straight or be like Philippe Petit (photo below). No, life balance, work and play, are in a constant act of balancing with work playing the role of the ten ton weight. The age old saying, " All work … Continue reading The Work to Play Equilibrium
My 10,000th hit (re-posting!)
This is a reposting to mark me reaching my 30,000th hit. The sentiments still ring true, perhaps with my photography to boot now, so for those who haven't read this before give it a butchers and see what motivates me to write!

Writing a bucket list, sad or useful?
For all of those who thought this blog post was me debating the pros and cons of creating an inventory for your storage vessels, I am sorry to disappoint. The sort of bucket list I am of course referring to is a list detailing things you wish to do before you die, or kick the … Continue reading Writing a bucket list, sad or useful?
A leap out of my comfort zone
For a country bumpkin such as myself, deciding to undertake an internship in bustling London seemed, on paper, like a rather colossal shift away from working in an office with a view of the Himalayas. A leap out of my comfort zone. The internship is with human rights organisation, Free Tibet (website here), and I … Continue reading A leap out of my comfort zone
