humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Working & Living Alone
I’ve been wrestling with the quiet. I live in a 4-story building, in a 550 square foot apartment, alone. The walls are concrete, so unless my neighbor Brenda dips a little too deep into the wine and starts belting out her rendition of Sweet Caroline (as she sometimes does), there’s not much else to listen to but the hum of my laptop and the ding of the elevator from somewhere down the hall.

Different Love in India
She joined the same team as I. She was a kind, a little bit shy person. When our manager asked me to teach her I gladly agreed. I guess I inherited some pedagogical skills from my parents, so teaching was something I enjoyed. We had daily meetings where I showed her how to use tools and other stuff we had, explained her daily duties, but I hardly got any questions from her and it made me doubt if she understood everything. Therefore, I decided to choose a more personal approach and build friendly relationship between us. And here started our friendship.

My Thoughts About #WereInThisTogether
You’ve been hearing celebrities and regular people repeatedly utter this slogan: “We’re in this together.” My question about that is are we? The coronavirus has taken the lives of over 3.5 million people globally and that stat is disturbing. The pandemic is a serious thing, but that phrase doesn’t sit well with me and I have some thoughts about it. You don’t have to agree with me, but I feel like I need to vent about a few things. These are my opinions and opinions alone.

Walk and Talk
He walks in the direction of his choosing, cigarette in hand, lost in his thoughts. “Well, that could’ve gone better!” But his mind does not leave it at better, in fact you could have said this, should have done that. There are so many things he would change if he could.

The Katonah Library Dedicates plaque in honor of Eleanor Hendrickson
With the explosion of information available on the internet these days, some may believe the community library can be easily replaced by more convenient megabytes or media players. Those people certainly cannot be found at the Katonah Library. "It really is the heart and soul of a community, and it is a place where everyone is welcome," said Inge Brown, president of the Katonah Library Art Gallery. And without dedicated librarians to stack the shelves, a library would function no better than a computer without a keyboard. That's why the Katonah Library will be dedicating a plaque in honor of the late Eleanor Hendrickson. Its director for almost 30 years, she not only had a lasting impact on the library, but on the village of Katonah.

A Coffee Hero
Ever since being a remote worker, basing myself in the corner of any coffee shop with a power supply and sturdy table, I have found the environment a fascinating world of stories, the crossing of paths or individual moments of peace, an inch away from the constant grind the other side of that steamed up window.
