“You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you’ve got something to say.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

…And I have something to say…If you have a creative mind, don’t kill it with procrastination. I write, I read and I write with music in my ears.

The blog was actually born sometime ago but I just got to shift my writings to this brand new customized and personalized blog of my own! I would like to extend deep gratitude to my mum for contributing  the sketches that gave the blog a unique touch, for always supporting me, loving me, inspiring me, being there through all my needful hours, and to Jonas my husband for believing in me and for making this blog come true.

I really dislike writing long sentences about myself so here are real genuine facts about me in precise bullets for you. Hope you like what you see in your mind’s eye!

•    I write for myself but I talk to you.
