Home of Memories


This account isn’t supposed to be any kind of an autobiography or ‘book’, but just a written-down recollections of memories that will be washed away by the flow of time — of myself, my family, and of the world during those decades ago.

It is also a sorting out of my mental filing cabinet – a tidying up of my hard disk (to use a modern metaphor), which is starting to be a bit full, and putting some of the information on an ‘external’ storage disk (through these recollections).

After a few years of writing accounts and stories, I have managed to write a series of books that I would like to share on this website. Hence, I will divide my posts into the book titles and chapters that you can find in the categories section.

As this site is still in-progress, I will also be showing here the chapters that have been uploaded so far.
