Information Abundance

21 April 2026

In an age of artificial intelligence and endless information, everything sits at our fingertips. We can access almost anything, from anywhere, at any time.

But the real challenge is not access; it is direction.

What matters now is not what you can find, but the questions you are going to ask. Questions such as: What are you trying to achieve? How do you identify problems worth solving? 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.

Reborn

10 August 2025

I know I must
endure this suffering,
For there is no other way.
But I don’t know
how to bear the pain
The ache in my heart is real,
And it’s killing me
inch by inch.

I have lost the last shred of courage
Yet, beyond this pain,
I hope to remain,
reborn as Buddha again.

notes

I don’t know why!

10 July 2025

Sometimes we don’t realise the beauty of something we created until someone recognises it.

Maybe we are too humble to acknowledge our work is as good as someone else’s, or maybe we don’t have enough confidence to take pride in something we created.

I don’t know why!

PS: These paintings were done by my wife, and yet she still believes she can’t draw.

Let me know your comments on the above. Thank you!

notes

Have clarity

22 May 2025

The main issue in life is not having clarity about what you want. Without clarity, you can’t focus on the things that matter.

Without focus, you will be distracted by countless things and the noise around you. These distractions will affect every decision you make. Over time, this can cause you to lose yourself and your dreams.

To achieve your dreams, you need laser-sharp focus. But focus begins with clarity. First, define what your dreams are. A simple way to start is by writing them down.

Create a clear, intentional list of what you want to achieve in life. Then, commit to focusing only on what truly matters.

You can never die

11 May 2025

If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die. ― Mik Everett

You can reread the above quote to this: “If the person dear to you is an artist, you can never die.

Yes, because they will carry you in their art pieces. If they are a writer, they will hide you between the lines of their favorite poems or stories. If they are a photographer, you will be in their photos forever. If they are a musician, they will blend you into the rhythm. If they are a painter, they will add you into the corners of their canvas. And the list goes on.

You will be forever engraved in their art, sometimes in plain sight, sometimes hidden. When others see the art, the artist will see you.

Dolce far niente

3 May 2025

I don’t want a thing
on Saturday mornings
just my favorite songs
playing low.

I don’t want to leave the bed,
just stay there,
holding you tightly,
all day long.

Let me sit cross legged,
tea in one hand,
and you in the other
sipping both,
slowly.

notes

The night is young

2 May 2025

It’s 10 p.m., I’m in bed
watching reels, and I’m bored.
Then the friends texted me,
“Let’s go for a walk,” and I said yes.

Now it’s 2:30 a.m., we’re still
roaming the streets,
Endless conversations
about nothing,
and everything under the sun.
The talks that make time feel unreal.

It’s hard to say goodbye
when we’re having
chocolate ice cream at midnight,
and laughing loud in the
yellow lighted roads.

We keep walking, still talking,
as someone says,
“The night is young,
and we have miles to go
before we sleep.”

notes

We will come for you.

23 April 2025

Today, you murdered the innocent.
Those who were sharing meals with their
loved ones, those who were living
their dreams.

None of them had wronged you.
They had done nothing.
And still, you killed them
without mercy,
because of your f*cking terrorism.

We will let this haunt us, always,
We will carry this wound forever,
And we will not forgive you.

But remember this,
we will come for you.
And yes, you will pay the blood price,
for every life you took.

Until then, we stand together.
As we always have.
As we always will.

notes

Italian movie

21 April 2025

It’s just like a colorful movie,
where we wander
through an old Italian city.

In the morning,
we’ll share a Cornetto and cappuccino,
then ride an old motorcycle
through sunlit alleys,
keeping our hearts close.

At noon,
I’ll take your hand
and run with you through Naples,
where love lives forever.

In the evening,
under the golden hush of dusk,
I’ll wrap my arms around your neck
and kiss you, whispering:
“Ti amo con tutta l’anima.”

Here, I want us to live
like a timeless poem—
full of love, light, and magic.

I miss you

16 April 2025

O baby, I miss you
in the soft, slow mornings,
in the hush of lazy noon,
and in the quiet of calm evenings.

You know I feel alone here.
I just want to come home
to run into your arms,
and kiss you like wildfire.

Let’s share a cup of tea,
under our fairy lights,
like old days.
Then we’ll
become one, like a prayer.

Good old days

12 January 2025

Can I go back to the good old days
just for one last time?

To smile without the weight of pain,
and breathe in the calm of peace.
To make myself believe that chaos
and suffering no longer lingers within me.

To live a life unburdened by curses,
to feel blessed-
the way I always deserved to be.

Can I go back to the time
when everything seemed beautiful,
even if only in my dreams,
just one more last time?

notes

Phoenix

rise, just like the old days.

You are not the system; you are part of it.

12 January 2024

Life is a series of roles we play, each one precious and unique in its own way. Whether you are a son, a father, a junior engineer, a secretary, or even someone who feels like they own nothing, you have something to offer and something to enjoy. Don’t let the struggles and chaos of each role overwhelm you; one day, you might no longer have the opportunity to play that role. The saddest part is, realizing its value only after it’s gone. So, cherish your time here, have fun, and make it beautiful.

Always remember, you are not the system; you are part of it.
