See the notion that comes from “Working from Home” is the supposed abundance of free time. Well, yes and no. Yes, because you are at home, supposedly chilling in your pyjamas (unlike YouTubers who have morning routines where they get about their day at home with a full face of makeup, the furthest I’d go would be to have a shower, breakfast and wear more home-clothes) … Continue reading Let’s Talk about Failed Writing – I
To the dearest people in my life, These are different from the previous open letters that I have written. This one is a tad bit more personal even to the extent of TMI.

The latter is a bit of a hot topic in the development world so apologise in advance … Continue reading Let’s Talk Floods – Part III
