A blur of a fortnight: the entire backrow walking out on World-In-Theatre's Macbeth with someone muttering,"Perhaps before experimenting with process-oriented approaches one should start with enunciation? Projection? Blocking? Iambic pentameter?" as we headed to drown sorrows in roti prata and maggi...

Meant to start on Vaughan Roberts' God's Big Picture , an overview of the entire Bible, after lunch with the group at Basil Alcove. But they'd wanted to discuss Romans 8. I could not say no. So we crossed Middle Road to The Coffee Connoisseur where we ran through Romans 8:1-17 (people pausing once e...

After months of working through structural permutations and cultural differences (interrupted occasionally by lunch on private islands and cake and wine in offices), weekends of ploughing through Chinese hieroglyphics and scrawls, several working breakfasts of parties exchanging the previous night's...

China is a country that wants to win and win big on a global scale, and Shanghai's...

Until recently, she'd flitted only in the peripheral vision of our experience, mysterious and vague. A friend from Dubai was back for a visit so we sat around into the early hours of the morning catching up and reminiscing about old times. At first, when we were wet behind the ears and new to the Mi...

We were at the beach in Singapore. Lapping calmly on the sand, the stench of the Irrawaddy waters, which once held mother and child decomposing wrapped around a tree, rendered impotent by distance and good fortune. I have been irritable and grumpy these few weeks. It has been difficult to be patient...

Am grateful for the dogs in my life, none of whom I need to feed, bathe, walk or groom; my sole responsibilities vis-à-vis the cuddly canines being to play with them, kiss them unhygienically on their wet noses and use them as furry footrests during bible study. Almost every week, we are greeted at...
