Hovering, hovering on a spot,
Circling a singular, familiar target.

The everyday menu, the trusted;
They appear and vanish
With less to no fuss. Continue reading

However, just as Biochemistry remains the bedrock of all Sciences, it has remained from time and memorial the villain of the Faculty. It is the course everyone loves to hate! Continue reading
The aftermath of what women want too has been pleasantly gruelling and enlightening. I have been quizzed by disgruntled and equally excited members of both sex. In my defence, I’ve been forced to agree with some ladies that “no man” (apparently they haven’t met some of us) can honestly and sanely fulfill those “obligations”.
