Coffee with Milk
Six years after moving to Germany, I reflect on resilience, failure, living abroad, and finding happiness in life’s smallest moments, one coffee at a time.

How I Read in the Age of AI: Trust, Judgment, and Critical Thinking
Lately, I have been struggling with reading online because I no longer know how much I can trust what I consume.
