We’ve all been there — stuck at the airport, glancing at the clock, refreshing your phone, and then looking around at the endless sea of travelers. It’s that awkward, waiting moment we all know too well. But what if you could turn those minutes into something much more exciting? But what if with just the press of a button, you could get your hands on a short story — whether it’s a quick one-minute escape or a deeper three- or five-minute read. Read more
In Copenhagen, there’s a library unlike any other, where you don’t borrow books — you borrow people. Welcome to the Human Library, a place where real-life stories are the pages, and conversations are the chapters. Here, you can ‘check out’ a person as your book, someone with a unique story to share — stories you’d never normally have access to, yet ones that are deeply important. Read more
How about salmon? Yes, that pink, silky superstar of the sea. It’s not just popular, it’s practically a health hero. As an oily fish, salmon packs a punch with high-quality protein, loads of omega-3 fatty acids, and a serious dose of vitamin D. Translation? You’re giving your body nutrients that may lower the risk of heart disease and even certain cancers. Pretty powerful for a fish, right?
And then there’s smoked salmon—delicate, rich, and just a bit luxurious. Usually cured and either hot- or cold-smoked, it’s the kind of treat that makes brunch feel fancy and dinner effortlessly gourmet. No wonder it’s considered a delicacy (yes, your taste is impeccable). Read more
On average, I read about 50 books a year. That sounds like a lot—until you do the math. If I were to live another 42 years (which is exactly how old I am now), that means I have time for just 2,100 more books in this lifetime. That number? It gives me instant literary anxiety. The kind where you start second-guessing every page you turn.
Because here’s the thing: when you realise your reading life is, in fact, finite, you start asking tough questions. Like: Should I keep reading this book that hasn’t sparked anything in me after the first 30 pages? Or do I gently close it, thank it for its time, and move on to another—one that might actually teach me something real? Read more
Mens sana in corpore sano!
A healthy breakfast isn’t just a morning ritual—it’s the fuel that powers your day. And no, it doesn’t have to be fancy or time-consuming. Ideally, your breakfast should be nutritionally balanced to give you the energy and focus you need to tackle the hours ahead.
Now, don’t get me wrong—I absolutely adore slow, lazy mornings spent in pajamas with a hot cup of coffee and nowhere to be. But let’s be real: those moments are weekend luxuries. On weekdays, I’m usually more of a minimalist. A cup of coffee, a hard-boiled egg, maybe a piece of fruit—or if I’m feeling ambitious, a smoothie I can sip while answering emails. Read more
Love changes life. True love does not care about religion, culture, age… These rules of love belong to Shams of Tabriz, the character of The Forty Rules of Love written by Elif Shafak.
Rule 1:
How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves. If God brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame welling inside us. If we see God as full of love and compassion, so are we. Read more
