I dedicate this page to the one who inspires me every day, my Uncle Marian aka Daneya.

To him I say cheers to teaching me about the good things in the world.

They’re short lived like he was but remain as frames we seek to build to create as many short stories as we can.

That’s the way the cookie crumbles

I’ve always been able to express an emotion through vivid wordplay. I’m now learning to show them through the power of actions and bedazzle them with some amateur designs.

  • Roce Ache Dees

    It surely isn’t a shocker that I thrive on drafting captions for our itty bitty parties, dinners, birthdays, letters and now as IG captions. It’s special to write about people you are close with, they’ll always be the ones to turn your words to gold. Adorned in my Godmother’s Sado that she hurriedly brought over…

  • Summer Lovin’

    I was chomping on a bowl of watermelon with a mint lime refresher on the side and chatting with a bosom pal when I asked her the usual banal question, ‘So when will you be in town?’. ‘I’d rather get baked in the Bangalore heat than sweat in the Mangalore heat’, she said. Any conversation…

  • My best women

I smiled. ‘So you’re here all day?’ ‘Yes’, I replied. ‘Yeah good time pass’, she added. ‘No ma’am, it’s my livelihood’, I chided. To me, the hype about Women’s Day seems to…

  • Lenten Sacrifice 2023

    The message of Pope Francis for the Lenten period of 2023 speaks of the Transfiguration of Jesus.

The musicians strummed their guitars as they filled the ambience with a festive mood. Anticipation for this evening had people come in well…
