Celebrate the Masters Today
We romanticize art from the past while ignoring the masters among us today. The golden age of art isn't a memory — it's now. Celebrate it.
Why I Write
Writing is how I communicate, express, and celebrate life. It converts scattered ideas into coherent words that might someday mean something to someone.
Life doesn't have meaning
A colleague died in a road accident days after showing me videos from his Himalaya trip. Life has no meaning — it is only our perception that gives it one. Life is too short to think too much.

We all have a list of favorites that disappeared as we grew up. The memory wormhole picks up those that didn't stick and brings them back when we least expect it — to make life interesting again.
