Meet toy 5, a cable-controlled truck. Ken and I decided to mux it with toy 6, a baby that gurgles while it crawls on its four little legs. Despite promising to let me do the hacking and problem solving, Ken took it all into his hands after Dave kindly (and mindlessly) drew what he thought […]
After injecting anesthetic on my arm, they started operating on it. I could feel something, but it felt like there was a thick barrier between my arm and their operating devices. This is what it feels like: like reading something written on a sheet of paper lying under hundreds of sheets of transparencies. I can […]
Many years ago, I took this photo with my video camera, and learnt quite a bit about politics.
The next limbo was where flight attendants and stewardesses came in flirting with each other, joking about their passports, while two brothers from some exotic European country tried to explain that they came to just meet their cousin in the airport then drive his car back to their own country.

Thinking of my magnet and my razorblade today, I had a revelation. How they relate to each other is like what the fox said to the little prince. Being attracted so strongly to each other, but pulled back by the strings, they were held in place. As I was waiting to see whether their attraction […]

Boil water. Put a good amount of basil seeds and goji berries in a bowl. A handful should be fine – my handful that is. When water’s boiled, pour a sufficient amount to cover the basil seeds and goji berries in that bowl, and a bit more. In the meanwhile, get greek yogurt out of […]
Twisted, I forgot to twist the cap of my water bottle off today. And there it was, my bag, acting as a temporary swimming pool for my Istanbul notebook, my reusable shopping bag, my keys, my wallet and my phone. The Istanbul notebook is a collection of pulp now, between the dryness of the pages […]
It is no other than movement in space, over time, that allows a change in perspective. From one point in space, at one point of time, you can see a smoothly curved line. You have the option to believe that that’s the only reality: that the line you’re looking at is smoothly curved. […]
