Super Powers!
Since my first piece for Annie’s challenge was a bit of a heavy one, I decided to go in the complete opposite direction for my second submission—by writing about a silly, awesome anime opening that I love instead!

"A Random Start, or Maybe the Beginning of Something Real"
A Random Start, or Maybe the Beginning of Something Real" For years, I’ve been searching for that one thing that truly fits me — something that feels like mine, where I can share my story, express myself, and maybe even find new inspiration along the way.

I Lost My Writing Mojo - the Story. Top Story - July 2025.
I wrote a poem last month, indicating that I had lost my writing mojo. I Think I've Lost My Mojo!: I am pleased to report that it is back, at least partially. It was quite confronting for me for a week or so. I sat down, looked at my list of a hundred or more potential titles, and failed to get past "Go" with any of them.

The Host of the Station
I usually arrive at the station just as the train arrives. This time, I was a little early, and my train was a little late. This gave me enough time to lose myself in thought while sitting on the uncomfortable iron chair. My gaze was fixed on the tracks—tracks that help people get to where they want to go, to their destinations, to their loved ones, to their dreams.

From Concept to Creation: How Tripo Studio is Revolutionizing 3D Design
For decades, 3D content creation has resembled an exclusive club with steep membership fees: years of technical training, expensive software suites, and high-end hardware requirements. Even for professionals, the traditional pipeline involves a frustrating dance between multiple specialized applications—one for modeling, another for texturing, a third for rigging, and yet more for optimization and rendering. This fragmentation doesn't just create technical barriers; it disrupts creative flow, turning what should be an inspiring process into a technical obstacle course.

Things I Wish I Had Said at the Hospital
Things I Wish I Had Said at the Hospital They said you might still hear me. That even in a coma, somewhere beneath the wires, the beeping, the sterile hum of machines — a part of you might still be listening.

Madame George. Top Story - July 2025.
When I first moved away from my hometown to the big city (many years ago) I was kind of lonely, but I had good company in a record album I took with me: Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. No one does melancholy and commiseration quite like Morrison, and so his first solo album was getting plenty of air time at my new digs.

How Logical
This is definitely a cheat. I am talking about my choice of song for Annie Kapur’s private Challenge, “Sing us the Song of the Century”. I could have chosen so many famous numbers from the twentieth century (assuming that this is the century that she is referring to; I am not too attracted to the noises of our new age). But I have to go back to a song that I have already written about on this page. As I said, this is definitely a cheat.
