GIFs As Art — Saatchi Gallery’s Motion Photography Prize
I’ve been silent for a while – I was in Seoul, at a friend’s wedding. It was an amazing, once in a lifetime, thank-you-Universe experience. I met some cool people and had lots of fun. I will post about it later, with … Continue reading

Escape The City – My Freedom Manifesto
I am back to work after 9 months of self discovery and career break. I have escaped the city! I am now an account manager at the cool digital agency. I wrote this in my first week at work.
Surviving Blue Mondays
Last Monday was a nightmare. The weather was horrid (although probably not as bad as those of you affected by snow storm in the US and Canada). Commute went wrong – a man under train (I only later connected it … Continue reading
