No tengo nada que decir; por ello no he escrito en tanto tiempo. Tampoco soy alguien – de menos ésto me gustaría creer – que escribe simplemente por escribir. A la vez, tengo el gran presentimiento de que todo lo que escribo aquí, nadie lo lee. No, no es sólo un presentimiento, tengo las pruebas.…

I am bitter, spiteful and jaded. And if I could, I would with celerity and alacrity eradicate the whole of that disgusting entity that is the human species.

I hate that blasted contraption that Americans and their cultural satellites call a cell phone and the rest of the world a mobile. It has, perhaps, irreparably altered the way human beings interact. What once would have been deemed antisocial if not rude, now is acceptable and I dare say, de rigueur. Every being who…

It is said that “every individual man and all men in common aim at a certain end which determines what they choose and what they avoid. This end, to sum it up briefly, is happiness,” and I believe it to be true. But I am, to be honest, unhappy. It is my suspicion that in…

Nota bene: The following is correct and true to the extent of what I am able to recollect. At 4:21 a.m. I set out for Bangladesh. It was the 14th of December 2004 and the semester was over. I had stayed up through the night, cleaning my dorm room, manically forcing what clothes remained into…

Not too long ago, several months if I am not mistaken (and to be honest, I am hardly ever mistaken!), I read a marvellous quote. I shivered at the brink of an epileptic attack, my lower lip quivered; to say the least, I don’t know how I managed to contain myself! Gad, how fantastic! But…
