Birds above flew away,

Empty blue skies reigned,

Nature resigned in silence,

As the heavens wept

The day you left

For the future past.

Why did you have to go?

What can make you stay?

We have so much to live for,

A couple of years later, at the end of an MBA session where he had participated actively, he approached me. Tall with black bushy hair and a perennial smile on his face, he communicates firmly and inspires his listeners easily to persuasion. He said he was interested in my watch and asked to have a closer look. He…

The jury is still out, even as a Joint Session of Congress on 7 January 2021 had constitutionally certified the Electoral College votes cast in November 2020 US Presidential Elections. Mounting evidence continues to unfold and unpack, pointing to credible reasonable doubt regarding the integrity of the 2020 US Presidential Elections. Congressional certification had proceeded before the numerous discrepancies of voting practices and fraudulent ballot claims were resolved by the Supreme Court. However, 147 Republican politicians had voted to reject the 2020 Presidential Elections results.

The latest case in Georgia’s Fulton County illustrates vividly the cloud of uncertainty over-shadowing the…

Stay@Home is not easy. It’s like all dressed up with no party or anywhere to go. Home becomes an invisible cage; many are imprisoned by the restrictions of social distancing, masking, closed cafes and restaurants, crowd restrictions and limited air-travel. Of course, one can always explore the countryside and city via sight-seeing on double-decker buses and mass transit trains.

Stuck at home over the past 18 months, and running out of things to do, can take its toll on mental health as dreams faded with boredom. Depression sets in, followed quickly by greater unhappiness and heightened self-dissatisfaction.
