2021-02-23T15:54:05+00:00December 31st, 2013|C'est Ma Vie!|

The last few weeks have been utter chaos to say the least, and the worst part is that I didn’t have any after-work classes. My full time job had been hectic, and I, honestly, have been feeling a bit detached and unfocused. I don’t believe in writing if you’re not feeling like writing, because you’ll write rubbish.

2021-02-23T16:58:08+00:00November 27th, 2013|Tech, The Good Stuff|

Quite recently, I’ve received a number of messages through LinkedIn for people offering me jobs in places I wouldn’t even dream of working in. Nairobi, Kenya, Zimbabwe, just to name a few. I’m used to these scams, so at most times, I don’t even open the message. <delete> Recent international news reports have shone some light on this matter, since

Why train? This is a question I have to answer tremendous amount. The second most popular question after is “but aren’t you creating people to replace you?” Yes, I am; and I have good reasons to.

Over the weekend, Trinidad celebrated Divali, the hindu festival of lights, on the darkest night of the year. This is a very auspicious occasion, and lies very deep within the hindu religion - meaning, this is a deeply religious occasion, at least for the Hindus.
