• Sleep a Little, Dream a Lot

If you’re looking to set up your own café, coffee-house or coffee-bars in future (well, one can always feed their dreams), you’ve got to check these books out. Complete Book of Coffee: The Definitive Guide to Coffee, from…

  The kids today are gone away petitioning the dust Just misfit melancholy dregs gone lost in the mall Wanderers to nowhere at all It was never in Max’s honest intentions to fall asleep with his head in Devynn’s lap. It was never in his expectations that she would stay to watch him fall asleep. She…

  In so many ways we live to follow the sun In so many ways we exalt and fail as one In so many ways we want so bad to be done “Now be a good boy, Max, hold on to this white bag. Wait at that junction for a man in a black trenchcoat. You…

  Don’t you think you’ve had enough Do their claws make sores Take my hand and come away “We have with us a fresh face from Seoul, where many of you were from. Make him feel welcome. Please come in, Max.” Stoicly, Max stepped in. He scanned the classroom, his gaze never faltering when his eyes…

  The night is long – shadows grow on my wall I’m calling out but no one’s home; Cause paranoia is the only friend I know Street lamps dimmed promptly at midnight, signalling the witching hours. A rented motorbike cruised along the Kan-Etsu expressway at a speed enough to give the common man a heart attack.…

• in itty-bitty pleasures we revel

  Couple of days ago I revived the much-missed feel of carrying dead-weight heavy books in my arms… by hitting the public library!

• please call me no more

  Here I am chanting to myself “please do not call me up to fly on Sunday I wish to lie in bed re-reading Murakami.” (whose new fictional release I have yet to get my hands on…because it’s yet untranslated) Also, my bed has me chained in shackles by my ankles and wrists and just won’t…

  credo ut intelligam I believe so that I may understand   “This is an important lesson to remember when you’re having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year. Things will change: you won’t feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most.…
