After writing ‘Where is positivity from?‘, I needed to use the restroom. As I walked toward a nearby building, rain came down quickly. I ran for a cover by an entrance. The door was locked and required a pass to enter. I watched the rain and wondered what I should do. A student came, swiped …

Where is Positivity From?
I’m sitting under a big tree at Harvard campus. The sun pokes through the leaves while breeze travels through the air. A young man walked by with a bunch of roses in his hand, I cross finger for his successful conversation. 5 young ladies walked by with a badge in their hands, attending a summer …
Be ‘Real’

Intention, Interpretation
A friend gave me some plants. I put a bag of them on the front of the house and went to the back to grab something. When I came back, in just a few minutes, the bag was gone. Really? Somebody stole plants? Why didn’t he/ she ask, I’d be happy to give… Some time …
