"ABOUT ME LATELY..."
Since Eid holiday is approaching, I’m just writing this. I know I haven’t really written more about myself. Well, even if I sort of have, they are often in the forms of poetry. I don’t know why. ...
"ABOUT SETH PATRICK'S 'THE RETURNED' "
Alright, so I haven’t watched the TV series yet. I only got lucky because a friend gave me this book. What would you do if someone you knew (or/and loved) had died and then returned…years later? ...
"TAINTED BY HATRED?"

"THE 4 PM TRAFFIC BEFORE 'IFTAR'..."
This is probably one of the moments one can feel grateful for working freelance from home. As long as they have a laptop and a decent, 24-hour wi-fi connection, all is good. No need to leave the ...
"OLD MEMORIES..."
Memories are for keeps. Good or bad, they’re not easily discarded for as long as one can still remember. Their existence is a paradox; they’re there and not at the same time. They exist but are i...
"NEW"
Once in a while, you need something new in your life. It’s not that you don’t want good things already in your life to stay where they are. Changes are not always bad or even tragically disruptiv...

Book Description
Dear Reality,
I know I’m one of many. Here’s where a lot of us are telling our stories. Some are in the forms of poetry and monologues, some come in varieties of prose.
I can say I’m a writer for life. It’s been my true love since I was a little kid, although I started pursuing it as a more serious career recently. I’m also a part-time English teacher and a freelance translator. My other regular activities include attending a writers’ club weekly gathering in town, monthly Poetry Night, singing, catching up with events, concerts, and movies, and life as it is.
R.
Writer@work.
