Somedays, I am Like this Other days like that Once in a while, I am everything in between And suddenly, I realise that nothing makes sense Then, I drift into the Ocean of doubts That is when I hear my fragmented parts Screaming from all their hearts “We are all part of you In this mysterious boat of life,Like us all, or we’ll tear you apart “ So with trust I swim with them allTo … Continue reading A Remote Island

The future isn’t just some distant dreamland; it’s being cooked up right here, right now, in the present moment. Yep, you heard that correctly! It’s all about what we’re thinking, feeling, and how we take on the big wide world around us and respond to it right … Continue reading Curiosity killed the cat
I walk in a humongous forest Among all the trees Each one Dressed in different shades of green and brown Deeply rooted in the ground They seem to be free, spellbound They all stand tall under the sun Seemingly having fun Decorated with their beautiful crown I watch their branches dance, to enhance An orchestral hum Creating the most breathtaking sound Through their tonous choir They … Continue reading The Trees and I
The bond which I shared with that little girl, from the kindergarten I once worked at, was truly special. It took some time to adjust to her unique personality, but once I did, I found her utterly fascinating. I couldn’t help but imagine her as a grown-up, in sleek black leather attire, cruising to and from the law office on a motorcycle – a badass … Continue reading The Size And Colour Of a Lie
It was the season of Christmas, when I ventured into the wild realm of secondary school education as a substitute teacher. Imagine: I, the academic chameleon, who had always bounced between eighth, ninth, and tenth grades, unknowingly stumbled upon the grand finale during my short stint in eighth, ninth, and tenth grade. Now let’s talk kids versus teenagers – a classic showdown. Children, with their … Continue reading What you see is not what I see
In 2018, during my trip in South America, I visited one of La Paz’s bustling food markets. I was told that I should try Pan America’s pizza when I reach Copacabana.

Somewhere far up NORTH There is a place I call it the Land Of The White Numbers In this strange land of sleepy wonders Father sun is absent, well hidden Is he unbidden, I ponder. In this land I see lines Inclines In the eternal dance Of contrasts The White, the cold Numbers Create ruptures Structures In The Land Of The White Numbers The cycle of … Continue reading The Land Of The White Numbers

Before Christmas, I visited a man with whom I had kept a weekly appointment for many years. Something inside me insisted that I should visit him. It could be one of the last times I would see him. I followed my inner voice and tried to call him, but the three numbers I had for him didn’t work. So I decided to show up at … Continue reading Accept Me Without Strife
In August 2022, I dived into the heart. I did it by visiting the Anahata Ayahuasca Retreat Centre in Pisac, Sacred Valley of Peru. I was there for my own reasons, but once again, my journey had led me to someone who had been pushed into a corner by life and forced to make a change. During my trip to Peru ( July to October 2022), … Continue reading Dreaming into heart
Entering 2024 and looking at our common ground made me want to turn the whole New Year Resolution idea upside down.
Instead of wanting to change or hope for something else(whatever that is), I wanted to build a tower of Gratitude.

A journey of awareness Mastering the art of vitality has been a journey of awareness for me, and this is how it started. A few years ago, I removed the “digital validation machine” that I kept under my dressing table. Every morning, when I got up, I visited that “digital validation machine” and watched the numbers change. They grew higher and higher, and my eyes … Continue reading The art of vitality
Today, I surrender to the beauty of life Everything feels so light I woke up with a peace of mind And see no need to run or hide Today I feel free from all the ‘Should’ve’ Musts Or dancing between the ‘could’ve and would’ve Today I am all in And there is nothing in between I walk around, firmly feeling the ground Uninhibited, no longer … Continue reading The Beauty Of Life
Some days ago I received an email and it gave me Déjà vu. This story started back in 2022. I had been told that I should explore Tantra on many occasions over the years. Tantra? Should I explore sexuality with random partners and call it spiritual sex? No, thank you, that is not for me, I thought. Maybe it triggered my ultra-Iranian origins ; who … Continue reading A Tantra Way of Living

This has given me a broader insight regarding life, the world and humanity, than most people around me. In this video, I am talking about where is home, my experience as a foreigner and uprooting … Continue reading Where is home? They say home is where your heart belongs

My adventure is coming to an end. I couldn’t think of a better way to mark the occasion than by finishing the poem that I started at the beach in Malaga at the beginning of my trip. Finishing and publishing this poem feels like coming full circle. An incredibly beautiful journey of over 850 km of steps and endless talks. Continue reading I wonder as I wander
Once upon a time, I knew a man.
I met him at a writing course which he was teaching at Bøler Library.
Today I found out that he has crossed over to the other side.
I felt a strong desire to honour him by sharing a poem he had written.

I got that idea out of desperation – it was December 2019, and I felt very badly about my body. I needed a project, something to hold on to, and I saw a video about a woman who did 365 days of yoga, says Corinne Dutil in this interview. That is how she started her 365 days challenge with yoga.
