The time has come for thesis preparation which is basically going to entail intense debates, readings, research, field work ( somewhat virtual in our case) and the actual writing – I cant even fathom how many drafts that’s going to take and so forth. Oh wait, did I share that…

Earlier this week in Taipei, M and I spent a lovely night sipping on our Bowmore 15 along with our chosen 5 course meal at S hotel. M decided to take an early retirement last year, even though she’s a good 6 years away from the stipulated retirement age. Her days…

I read somewhere recently of January being the Monday of the year – well, I don’t really see it that way. Nor, do I like to liken it to the start of the new year and you get to scratch off the shit from the year prior and whathaveyounot. Sign…
