I wrote this on how much I love Berlin's forests. Please check out the site for stories of other Asian people's fave places in Berlin. It's such a lovely project. mappingmemory.de/en/stories/ber…


Personally I think wanting to watch two men of any age fighting is kind of dysfunctional.


Is it unreasonable to glare villainously at people who make Zoom calls in cafes while I'm trying to write?

Social media creates a situation where we know almost everything that's happening in almost every area of the world. We're exposed to suffering, injustice, and trauma almost every time we open our apps.


If you have an authoritarian Indian relative, translate their words into German and shout back at them. It's terrifying, but makes everything much clearer.

“The habit of thinking prevents us at times from experiencing reality, immunises us against it, makes it seem no more than another thought. There is no idea that does not carry in itself its possible refutation, no word that does not imply its opposite.” — Proust, The Fugitive

Shouldn't it be spring by now?


If forced to marry one of the below, which would you plumb for?

As everyone starts posting their 2023 highlights please know that if the only thing you did this year was simply survive that is something to be so proud of. You’re still here. You did it. I’m proud of you. Never give up. I believe in you. You are loved.

It’s taking you a little longer because you aren't lying, using people, cheating, manipulating, or selling your soul. Don't rush anything. The slower the process, the deeper the roots, and the stronger the values. It's the journey that matters, not the destination.

Very much saddened to learn about the passing of the great Benjamin Zephaniah - he was a great champion of my work and for so many others too. A true innovator.
