2016 in Review


The spectrum between bad and good is grand and intricate.

From radical hatred and anger to complete love and mercy, the space

between is massive and most commonly occupied.

Why do we choose to feel disdain instead of sorrow or hope instead of anger?

Do our emotions make us human? Or are we all stardust waiting for a chemical

reaction to set us ablaze and make us shine?

The growth experienced over a year has been that of pressure and heat- 

waiting for the 'rock into diamond' results, creativity and life out of adversity.

Be it stardust, be it rock- the end result is clear: you will shine.
