“What social media really becomes after years of use is a constant stream of information both verbal and visual that at first drenches the mind, quenching its thirst for knowledge, and subduing its curiosity slowly but surly transforms into a torrent that renders the brain heavy and the mind restless.” ~Aysha Taryam Social Media. The [...]
So I often get asked how I am able to balance reading and read books (not that I even read so many books compared to some bookmaniacs) while working my 9–5, which in reality could be more like 8:30 - 7pm (or even 8pm). Work can get so time consuming and energy draining that as [...]
I think a lot. Like, if there was an olympic sport for overthinking, the organisers would have to create a new type of medal for me, because Gold would not be appreciative enough of my abilities when I come first. Lol. In fact, When I win whatever medal they give me, I would be the [...]
It has been an amazing three years and some months of lawyering, Nigerian style and what can I say? Actually I can say a lot. For one, it's been an interesting and eye-opening three years full of lessons, wins, losses, achievements and disappointments. But hey, we move. Interestingly enough, it’s funny how I feel this [...]

Through out the journey, there will definitely [...]
Hello, my name is Rachel and I suffer from a little bit of Tsundoku (okay, maybe not a little bit).

"Even [...]
Ahhh. *exhales* A new beginning...a new chapter...a fresh start...another chance. That is what the new year offers us, isn't it? Second chances, opportunities to right those wrongs and a chance to rewrite the past and start all over, or to just continue and grow. The new year always bursts forth with its freshness, golden opportunities, [...]
Happy new year again guys! It's been an amazing holiday so far, just relaxing and taking a break from it all, physically, socially and mentally. I spent the last couple of weeks in Lagos (the city where madness prevails, the city that sleeps not and the city where 100k Naira can go just like that) [...]
“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go” – T. S. Eliot Recently, I took a what I consider to be a "big risk". Now, at the time I was deciding whether or not to go through with it, I tried to convince myself that it [...]
The Wig Separation Soooo, this tale involves a wig, an air hostess and a puke bag. I have already told the humans in my life (and Artaxerxes...my pet apple (yes I have a pet apple! who is dying slowly by the way... and honestly if you do not know about him then I do not [...]
Wow. Wow. Wow. What can I say about this book though? So when we selected this book as the book of the month of January 2019 at The Readers' Hub book club which I belong to, I was quite excited to delve into it. Along the line, my excitement waned as I got into the [...]
This book played with my emotions! Na wa! I was automatically drawn in by the title of this book when I came across it (I mean, who wouldn't be?) for the first time sometime in November of 2018, I thought "hmmmm....what a juicy title. I need to get this book." And get it I did! [...]
