Yep, there is a life after UWC. There is a life after MUWCI. And damn, it’s pretty cool. Not easy, definitely not easy. But it has a certain… je ne sais quoi. I guess the main thing that I learnt is thinking in terms of “will there be a life after UWC?” doesn’t really make… Read More Life after UWC
MUWCI hit me hard. That’s all I can say. I feel like I need to write this long apology letter, to myself mostly, explaining why I let myself and whoever enjoyed reading this blog down.

I finally got off this campus and saw India. I learnt and I experienced and I would love to share a small part of that here.… Read More Experiencing India
I’ve been wanting to write something for a while now. I want to put all these feelings into words and I want to be able to describe them to people. It’s just not that easy. It’s strange, not being able to put things into words. It’s a weird sensation. Yet whenever I try to put… Read More Halcyon naivety
It doesn’t take much to be happy here. A lot has happened since I last wrote and yet that was only three weeks ago. Classes have started. This place is strange but it’s starting to feel like home. Finding my way to class isn’t hard anymore. I know where to go to get some good… Read More Settling in
