The reasons why.
I am a first-born. As first-borns go, I was quite a success. I was quiet, never made much fuss (still don’t), never contradicted (can’t say the same here), never threw tantrums, obeyed and followed rules to the letter.
Life and Other Stories
The heat is unbearable. The car’s AC isn’t working again and while the wind whipping through the window offers some relief, none is found when the car is not moving.

2 Weeks in Argentina
2 weeks is an extremely short time when you stop to think about it. Argentina is kind of very big – you can never hope to tour the entire country, unless you travel every single day.

"Perfect"
I have always wished to write something. There’s just one problem – I find it hard to finish what I start. I once wrote more than 20 chapters twice over, before stopping on both occasions.
