    » One of my favourite songs is I Want Some Sugar in My Bowl, a very sultry piece of music sung by the late Nina Simone. The music reminds me that humans cannot live without sweet indulgences in life because we need sweetness deep down in our souls.

    No rhyme, no reason

    Life, Anchalee Kongrut, Published on 02/05/2016

    » There's a beautiful piece of prose in a Thai poem that reads: "Kavee rue lang laeng Siam" -- (Siam never runs out of poets). Composed over 120 years ago by Prince Paramanuchit Chinoros, the verse is part of Samuta Koj Kam Chan, and it describes the golden age of Thai literary culture, in which poetry was ingrained as part of people's speech. It was a time when rhyme and stanza were infused in normal dialogue. Men wrote poems, or sang them for courtship.
