Love? Life? Joy!
Time after weary time, I’ve had to sit through tedious conversations on why London is such a rubbish city. ‘Oh, its impossible to buy a house anywhere in London, ordinary people are getting priced out’; ‘The crime rates are shocking!

It makes me feel special. I also like it that people want to know what it is, even if it means taking ten minutes of... Read the rest of this post...

Selfies have been around quite a while now. Love them or loathe them it looks like they’re here to stay. When you really think about it, taking a picture of yourself is a bit weird, right?

Sitting in a pretty teashop in Camden on a rainy Sunday morning sounds like a lot of people’s idea of a cosy way to spend part of your weekend. And on this particular occasion, it was made even more delightful with the company of Pavan Amara (or Pav for short), founder of the My Body Back Project. My Body Back...

Picture this. You’re late for the bus and you’re running like a mad person waving your travel card in the air for the bus to halt and take you on board. You then reach the bus: out of breath, and dwelling on how unfit you are and how another day in the gym would have not gone amiss. You’re then... Read the rest of this post...
