Let’s Talk Floods – Part V
I found myself panicking during last year’s floods. It was probably the first time in my “adult” life that I had seen a calamity of that extent and moreover, affected to those closest to me.

You know how ‘news becomes news’ to you noh, “if it is in vicinity” or something to … Continue reading Let’s Talk Floods – Part V

In a modified statement inspired by Dickens, It wasn’t the best of day, it wasn’t the worst of … Continue reading Let’s Talk Floods – Part II
Let’s Talk Floods – Part I
I know this sounds all ridiculous and shiz, blogging during times like these but seriously though, there is a lot that needs to be written during this time, which I would not want to Tweet out or share through Facebook posts because between you and I, I’ve been a bit of an overshare these days and I just am not liking it. Tough times. Also … Continue reading Let’s Talk Floods – Part I
