Seventeen months into the pandemic and my little circle of family and friends have been struck with more and more blows recently. A friend, a friend’s mother, my brother’s friend, a friend’s father, my neighbour and a friend’s sister. Period, please come and stay here.

I was actually thinking about being 50 in the next 10 years. This made me think about the son who will be doubling his age by then.

I hope that he (and other people in their twenties) finds, considers, and heeds bits of wisdom I can offer in this 2031 letter I am writing for him today at 2021.

Some time ago, the husband was telling me about this movie, based on a real-life bunch of adults playing tag. I managed to say “Ah..” to feign a little interest. I, recently, found it on Netflix, and heck, I watched it and unexpectedly, I loved it! Having said that on the first paragraph, you know that this is Tag, not really a movie review.

Music has been playing in the foreground and background since the beginning. It has evolved from being passed down to different generations. Varied harmonies have molded cultures and societies all over the world. Music has been part of our history and evolution.
I love music. Since learning to hum a tune, I have always done it, sometimes out loud, sometimes in my mind. Although I prefer upbeat harmonies, I also love diving deep into a song’s lyrics, whether fast or slow, and using them to motivate myself in whatever scenarios I find myself in.
