Unguaranteed Prophecies & Guaranteed Ramblings

I’ve been thinking about this for quite sometime now. Whenever, I return after a trip, it completely unsettles my rhythm back at home. My tolerance threshold is very fragile and especially when it gets to my Parents it almost nill. I think it is quite an experience living together with Parents in late 20s and [...]

These days, I get peeved quite frequently. I usually vent my frustration in one form or the other. Point is…it is certainly not healthy and makes people around me uncomfortable.
