Real growth comes from getting out of your comfort zone and confronting new challenges. It’s not easy.

Drawing is my silent cry. It’s my way of staying resilient and remember that the journey is more important than the destination.

Back in 2014, the brown boy and I used to have this painting by Amrita Sher-Gill hanging in front of our bed and I had just finished reading Amrita Sher-Gil: A Life by Yashodhara Dalmia.
“I wish I could be in this Amrita Sher-Gil painting. Everyone is so calm and restful – a calm that I have lost, and would dearly love to get back.
Oh Amrita, your paintings are so much calmer than your own life. Is that a sign that life is always more chaotic than art?
Yours truly, agitated Soo.”
You know how you’re always looking for the book to change your life? Maybe this wonderful book “A Tale for the Time Being” didn’t change my whole life, but there were parts of the book that I really liked.
