One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo’s fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl.
Tell you the truth, she’s not that good-looking. She doesn’t stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn’t young, either - must be near thirty, not even...

So I’ve been MIA from Tumblr for some time. There is more than one reason, but the one main reason would be MY JOB. Working in journalism again has proven to be so challenging, draining and time consuming, it’s like I can barely fit anything else in my head. I think I will start dreaming of the wire services, headlines, and catch lines soon. I have to restrain myself from posting news...

Burning the Diaries →

By DOMINIQUE BROWNING NY Times: September 30, 2011
I JUST burned 40 years’ worth of diaries. I didn’t plan to — or rather, I had always planned to, once I knew I was dying, or so old that I would soon lack the energy to gather wood. But I woke one morning and knew it was time to let it all go.
I yanked open the flue, started a small log fire and began laying on the...

'THe Wire' Actors: Where Are They Now? →
Aah I love this. I get so excited when I see a Wire actor in a movie. Saw Tommy Carcetti in this movie called 12 Rounds on tv the other night, and I spotted Bunk and Cutty in Horrible Bosses last week. Damn, I really miss this show.

Wow
It’s been ages since I posted properly on Tumblr. Honestly I have no idea where the time goes these days. My trip to Northern Pakistan was so eventful. It just reminded me that I love the mountains jsut as much as I love the water, and Northern Pak. is probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. Mountains are somehow so soothing. I think I’m good with trips for a...
