ABOUT ME

'What I really wanted was every kind of life, and the writer's life seemed the most inclusive.'

im currently living in europe, when im not on the move its Berlin to be precise,
where music and culture moves me, and so does intellectual pursuit... but ill always make time for the mountains and sea

im into various techniques that benefit the mind (vipassana included) :) may all beings be happy

PHILOSOPHY

"I grind my teeth when the limiting name of realism is given to achievements that relate to an altogether more majestic view of life, and I yawn when high claims are made in the name of realism for things that are not worth reading, hearing or watching. Between grinding and yawning, my life is a mess. It would be great if the word 'realism' could be outlawed for 100 years or so, and its derivative, 'realist,' could be torn up and swallowed with raspberry jam."

John Russell. "Realism (True and False) is Everywhere," The New York Times (January 10, 1982).
