February, the month of love, black history, and then there is the rat. Adults, looking to a rodent for predictions in weather and the future of winter and spring. When on earth did that become a celebrated thing? It’s ridiculous, and yet some take it seriously.

Cruel Paradise
Looking at the burning candle made me realise that everything fades away as it burns and becomes light for others. Though your names might stay behind. But at what cost? The cost of burning yourself? And still, if someone accidentally gets burned, all your struggles to light someone’s life would be in vain in their sight.

The Last Train Home
The railway station in Rahim’s town had always been a place of movement, noise, and constant goodbyes. Trains arrived with thunderous roars and left behind trails of smoke, carrying passengers toward cities filled with opportunity. For most people, the station was a transition point. For Rahim, it was a reminder of everything he had avoided. At twenty-two, he had spent years postponing decisions about his future, afraid of failure and unsure of his purpose. But on a cold autumn evening, standing beneath the dim yellow lights of Platform Three, he realized he could no longer remain still while the world moved forward.

A Stranger at Platform 9. AI-Generated.
Platform 9 was never anyone’s final destination. It was a place people passed through—briefcases in hand, headphones on, eyes fixed on digital boards flashing arrival times. The trains came and went with mechanical precision, carrying stories that rarely crossed paths. For Sameer, that morning was supposed to be ordinary. He was traveling to the city for a job interview he wasn’t sure he would pass.

"How do you calculate the circumference of a circle? Submit your answer when ready." [Pause] "Excellent! Every student was able to call up the answer electronically very quickly. If I, as a robot had feelings, I would express pride. You may break for lunch. Return to this cyber room in 45 minutes."

The Queue That Never Ends
The first number you are given is not yours. It belongs to the system. You learn this early, though no one explains it outright. The number arrives without ceremony. It appears on a printed card, on a digital dashboard, in the corner of your emails. It follows you across departments, across offices, across years. It outlives addresses, jobs, relationships.

Who Owns Your Digital Self
Denmark is preparing legislation that assigns legal ownership of identity traits to the people who carry them. This includes the face, the voice, and the physiological patterns that algorithms can duplicate with high confidence. I have examined synthetic media cases where cloned voices triggered panic inside families and where victims struggled to prove that footage circulating online was artificial. When identity becomes copyable at industrial scale, the legal system faces problems it was never built to manage.
