Bro

22 July 2026

How well do you know
your brother?

While driving, if he says “turn left,”
I can take a right, confidently,
because I know
he meant a right turn.

Dad

22 July 2026

How can I be the best dad?
my younger friend asked.

You’ll become a great one

your kids’ wounds
with a single kiss.

The past smiled at me.

Stars

10 July 2026

What is love?
the younger one asked me.

Magic

3 July 2026

What is Magic, Daddy?
My little one asked.

I don’t know whether
she got it or not,
but she smiled.

Information Abundance

21 April 2026

How do you ask questions that lead somewhere meaningful? Ultimately, the quality of your questions determines the path you walk.

I believe that in this era of abundance of information, the true skill is not knowing more. It is learning how to ask better questions.

The illusionist

16 March 2026

you were never
destined to meet.
