A Little More Than a Sentence

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? They say the third grade report card is a window into a child’s soul. Mine, however, seemed to scream “future anarchist” and “potential vampire lord.” While my teachers saw “disrupting class discussions” and an “alarming fascination with the local cemetery,” I was simply a budding philosopher disguised […]

Attention Poets, Posers, and Procrastinators (Because I Know You’re Out There)

Do you find yourself scribbling verses on coffee shop napkins or haikus on the back of grocery receipts? Do you secretly dream of being the next Rumi or Maya Angelou (but with less existential angst and a lot more crayon)?

Picture this: It’s March 1st, and Romania is abuzz with a flurry of red and white, a sea of tiny charms, and a heartwarming exchange of wishes and flowers. It’s Mărțișor (pronounced roughly “Mart-see-shore”) day, a quirky and joyous tradition that marks the beginning of spring. So, what exactly is a Mărțișor? It’s a small […]

Startup Life or a Comedy Central Sitcom?Ask Me Anything (Except How to Adult)

Do you enjoy your job? Folks, let me tell you, being a Chief Strategy Officer at a startup telemedicine clinic is not for the faint of heart. It’s a wild rollercoaster where the highs are euphoric, the lows are stomach-churning, and you’re never quite sure if you’re about to fly off the rails or reach […]

Why I Wouldn’t Trade My Crazy Life for Anyone Else’s (Not Even Brad Pitt’s)

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? Let’s be honest, everyone’s played the “what if I could switch lives with someone famous” game. You know, be a millionaire, walk red carpets, the whole shebang. But lately, I’ve realized I’d never trade places with anyone for even a […]

Freedom Not Prison

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? Let’s talk banned words. The very phrase sends shivers down my spine, like nails on a chalkboard mixed with a dentist’s drill. Banning words? Isn’t that akin to trying to trap a butterfly in a net? It might flutter […]

Chasing Kites and Dreams. Jaipur, India Travel

Jaipur, the “Pink City,” where vibrant hues paint the walls and history whispers on every corner. But amidst the architectural grandeur and bustling bazaars, a simple sight captured my heart – children, their eyes alight with joy, chasing kites dancing in the cerulean canvas above. The scene, a stark yet poignant reminder of Khaled Hosseini’s […]

India: Saffron and Sorrow

I wrote this after a week spent visiting India. More days to come and I can’t wait to see what I will find more. Sunlight paints the bustling square, A million hues, a vibrant flair. Silk saris drape on weathered frames, Whispers of hardship, whispered names. Taj Mahal weeps in marble white, A love song […]
