Fishing For A Change
The days are getting colder, and it is becoming difficult to get out of bed. But, I drag myself out of bed at 4 AM and get ready for my daily walk. I leave home by 4:15 AM and walk towards the beach road nearby. I prefer to go for a walk in the morning … Continue reading Fishing For A Change

Amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday work, my family and I sat together after dinner to reminisce about the good old days.
