Albeit spending almost two years of my life in this difficult season, stuck in a pandemic & enduring long hours of reading novels in spare time just to save myself from the most mundane of things. I realized how I've come to appreciate a bunch of small stuff - I called it Quaranthings. I'm a notorious homebody and I need good reasons to go outside. I realized how these small stuff helped me to cope during languishing hours.

Exhalation by Ted Chiang: The Merchant & The Alchemist's Gate
What if you could travel back in time or see what's in the future? a lot of people would desperately want to return in the past and make different choices. Maybe for the better, because who would want to go back and make things worse? or maybe you could have a glimpse of what's ahead of you, if you'll make it, 20 or more years from now. Recently, I've finished the first story out of nine compelling short stories in Ted Chiang's book, Exhalation. The story revolves around a Portal through time, a merchant & an alchemist. Honestly, the whole book reminds me of the Netflix Series, Black Mirror.
