Blogging

Never Give Up
I remember Simren once said to me “…because you never give up”, upon me asking her what changed her mind about me. If you have been following my blog over the years, you would have read my blog posts about how Simren and I met. Our happenstance and subsequent encounters were full of troubles, fights …
S#*t – Just Got Engaged
Simren* and I are now engaged. Our engagement concluded latter half of 2016, or rather the ceremonies did. Other than a few people, this is the first time I am mentioning this on social media, partially because and to be honest, this was orchestrated move to leave it this long. I am known for …
