Dreams dreams, and dreams. Swaying palm trees and dancing spaceship rockets. Dreams are all the rage these days. A strange interconnection amongst us all. Last night I had a dream where the gatekeeper repeatedly said “at Milan, turn left”. In my dream, I did not reach Milan. Although, […]
It’s late at night and I’m staring at the sanitation trucks picking up recyling bins and moving stuff about. The city truly never sleeps. There’s round the clock fun, trouble and caution. New York’s vibrancy was a bit dampened. However, I digress. Back to the sanitation trucks. I […]
