About
"Some are given that chance to live on soil that is not theirs. It is in this humility you lose yourself, or discover your soul."
Sporeboy has moved to Delhi from Singapore. Come share in his little journey. Better yet, be inspired to join him. Come.
Meanwhile, Sporeboy is hatching a plan to promote the arts and build a social enterprise at the same time. Check out http://thearthack.com.

Following
the big plunge
I walk along the water’s edge, the pool of dark blue with hues of golden yellow. I hear the distant footnotes of a city, of night traffic. I hear the nearby households surviving city-life. A dog barks in the distance. I look up and find the stars looking back.
It is nearly the same as it was 10 years back. Then I was a student in Singapore. Today, I am a resident of Delhi. I notice the surrounding trees have grown. This was wear I celebrated many birthdays. All this feels at once familiar at once strange. A week from now, I will be headed back to Delhi, my city.
Sometimes it feels like I live different realities, one as Singaporean, the other as Delhi-walla. Which is real which is not? Can they both be real at once? Yet, I sometimes feel I need to cross a line to get from one to the other.
The water in the pool is still. I feel like plunging in, leather shoes and all. I will. I have. Delhi is my big plunge. Moving back home to Singapore later will be equally big.
