ABOUT ME

“I am from there. I am from here.
I am not there and I am not here.
I have two names, which meet and part,
and I have two languages.
I forget which of them I dream in.”
― Mahmoud Darwish

PHILOSOPHY

“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.” Arundhati Roy
