The Necessity of Forgiveness

Like most migrants, I came to Australia as an international student. Before I moved to Melbourne back in Sri Lanka — the land I hail from — I recall the uncomfortable topic of racism coming up a handful of times amongst friends and family. And at the time, as a…

Why We Should Go To Mars While Also Combating Inequality

A few months ago, I came across a proverbial Twitter battle between Democratic politician Bernie Sanders and the founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk. Gone are the days that an internet spat could be dismissed as petty and trivial because, for better or worse, social media has become our public square…

What is Living Truthfully?

Subsequently, this mini-project was inspired by James Q Quicks tutorials. *This is still an ongoing project, and (hopefully) I’ll keep adding more features to it the more I learn. Demo deployed on…

Against Cynicism: My Case For Living Life To The Fullest

To my partner’s annoyance, I have a running joke I make at social gatherings about wanting to have ten kids one day — enough to play a five-on-five basketball game. I tell myself the reason behind the joke is for some engaging befuddling humour to lighten up the mood in…

Habits That Are Killing You Slowly But Surely

“All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow. The task of breaking a bad habit is like uprooting a powerful oak within us…

The Cost Of Living An Unguarded Life

In the last two years of my life, I’ve become fascinated with history, particularly on the shifting of our cultural and moral zeitgeist. One such shift was the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

The Fragility Of Human Life | COVID-19

There is no such thing as a pain-free life, pain is inevitable, and I believe once we understand this truth, either, we will begin to find meaning in this pain or lead a life of resentment, vengefulness and nihilism. The choice is ultimately left to our own will. Before the…

The 26th Of January Is Australia Day, And A Few Thoughts Came To My Mind

I took this picture along the corner of Swanston and Bourke Street. I think of it as a reminder of the impact the recent bushfires had on Australia. The 26th of January is Australia Day, and a few thoughts came to my mind. During the 1999 Australian constitutional referendum prime…
