Sometimes, the most meaningful changes in our lives are those we hardly notice. Familiar places evolve, conversations become shorter, relationships assume new forms, and technology quietly changes the way we experience the world. We often recognise what has changed only when we pause to look again.

My recently published book, When We Look Again: Thoughts for Changing Times, is a collection of thirty essays exploring these ordinary observations and the larger questions they raise about being human.

The essays travel across family and society, memory and technology, education and ambition, development and environment, success and failure. They examine what progress brings, what convenience takes away, and whether knowledge alone is enough without judgement and sensitivity.

This book does not attempt to provide ready-made answers. Instead, it invites readers to spend a little more time with questions that deserve attention. It is about people, changing times and the responsibilities we carry towards the world around us.

Perhaps we do not always need to see something new. Sometimes, we simply need to look at what is already before us, once again.

When We Look Again is published by Ukiyoto.
