The Last Thoughts of a Busy Mind

Chapter 214: In One Day I'll Turn 29

29 is an odd age. It is the last year of a decade of life, that is also often conflated with recklessness and experimentation. When one reaches that odd age of 29, one tends to get introspective. Looking back at everything that one did in the past decade, and planning for the future. Though, living in constant turmoil of life outside of one's grasp, those plans may seem like the follies of a fool. Whether follies of a fool or the steps of a genius, one can't help but reach that precipice of turning 29. Email me at: ContactAKhamseh88@gmail.com

Chapter 213: 2026, Part 2

2025 was an almost apocalyptic year. It had shown each of the four horsemen of the apocalypse with great vigor. It had shown war, and pestilence, and famine, and death. The year 2026 has started for a while now, and though it seems that the specter of these four horsemen are still looming and their handiworks are still being seen, one needs to look for that little ray of light in the darkness; and that little ray of light may come from planning for 2026.

Chapter 211: This Is an Exercise In Futility

Life is an unpredictable mess. Things go awry when you full expect it and when you least expect it. Planning for the future, though an essential part of life, is one's attempt at organizing an untangled mess of webs. That unpredictability becomes much greater when one is part of a world as chaotic, as brutal, as depressive and as oppressive as life in a country like Iran. There are moments in one's life when the reality of living in such conditions of inhumanity makes all future endeavors feel like an exercise in futility. Not just planning, but life itself becomes one. Email me at: ContactAKhamseh88@gmail.com

Special Chapter #13: I'm Dancing to the Tune of Arash

In this episode, we go back to the online roots of The Last Thoughts of Two Busy Minds and we're having a long conversation with Arash. We met each other online on a social media platform because we had some mutual friends, and hit it off due to our mutual love of cinema and movies. Arash lives in Italy, and has been there for a few years, and recently got his graduation; so our talks did include cities of Europe and living abroad, but it also included topics such as the use of AI in art, Guillermo Del Toro's "Frankenstein", Food and Travel, and ended with an exhaustive discussion of James Bond and Mission Impossible.
