Creativity and its Creator

Lately I am increasingly facing the realization that for evidence of a Creator I need look no further than my own creativity. Oh, I’ve read a fair share of books presenting this or that other apologetic. Given my engineering background, the design argument used to hold a lot of appeal. All of those arguments seem […]


Inspiration and Spanish Omelettes

A few days back, while writing a chapter for one of my in-work novels, my protagonist cracked some eggs, diced and whipped up a few ingredients and cooked a Spanish Omelette. Well, add this to the things I love about writing: I finally got the courage to cook up one of these. Add this also […]
