About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out exactly how one knows when pasta is 'Al Dente'

ABOUT ME

Me. 1.78 metres living in Johannesburg. Caught between science and art. 33 years on this planet. Trying to respect all and all opinions yet keeping mine. Trying to be always open to learning.

PHILOSOPHY

“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.” Kahlil Gibran

“Philosophy teaches us to bear with equanimity the misfortunes of others” Oscar Wilde
