”We are stories telling stories.” -F. Pessoa
I believe in stories— listening particularly. For a story compels one to think over and reflect upon one’s own story of life. So here’s my journey to listening stories and exploring myself through it. Join me in my Podcast!

Dead Poets Society
After months we talked again. This time I’ve been accompanied by Ali Ghori on discussing the popular 1989 movie " Dead Poets Society " and its impact on both of us. In Ali’s words : The movie is pure beauty. It indeed does not offer drama but what it offers is worth accepting. It offers self-reflection at whatever stage of life you are performing. "Seize the day boys" is not just a chant to be thrown in the face of the realities of social restraints. It's about making oneself available to the moment and taking graciously whatever it offers for body or soul.
The movie is an opinion on budding youth and how society makes them suitable to carry on the agenda its members are already pushing.
