An excerpt from Kafka on the Shore

"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing direction. You change direction, but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverished bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine."

I suddenly felt like starting a new page with my personal written reflections that probably would have a slightly different theme from my previous blog. Wanted to change the layout too but at the same time I didn't want to delete the old one cause I remember spending so much time and effort into it when I first started. So I guess this will be the new site!

Hopefully it will be more interesting than the previous one :)
