[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] Popular culture would have it as one of contemporary society’s greatest sins, a constant theme in romantic comedy, soap opera and film. So quite how often do we forget anniversaries, not to mention birthdays and the like? And is it confined solely to the male gender, or ...

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] To describe the last few days as testing would be literal in more ways than one. I have after all spent the last 3 days at the 2nd Npower Test Match between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston, whilst my emotional equilibrium has been examined to its limits ...

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] The last few days, today especially, have offered me a perfect illustration of life’s contrasts and the beauty that all of those variations present us.
I have often spoken of my admiration for Nelson Mandela, and I am absolute in the esteem in which I hold him, on ...

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] I seem to return to the word ‘bittersweet’ at the moment. I used it to describe the feelings of West Indian cricket supporters on Tuesday, and it is a very accurate means of depicting today for me.
Essentially, Saturday July 3, 2010, is just another day. Friday July 3, ...

[show_avatar email=jessicapayne3283@aol.com align=left] So where do you begin to contemplate a six-month period that has both changed and shattered lives? In that time, I’ve lost one of my closest friends in Dani, and seen some of my best mates, Rohan in particular, utterly broken in their attempts to come to ...

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] It is rare that 5 months can both seem and encapsulate a lifetime. Emotions have meandered between raw grief, anger, despair and hope, whilst some days have seemed to last for weeks and others for minutes.
The last fortnight has been as difficult a period as I have ...

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] The American orator, Wendell Phillips, once described physical bravery as an animal instinct. I am inclined to believe that, for many of us, this observation is true to our psychological fears also.

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] In modern times, I often hear debates as to the Meaning of Life, mainly as to whether it revolves around theology, science or philosophy, not to mention ideology. Personally, I have always taken the route of theology, having been brought up as a Christian and with a ...
