Happy birthday to you Copyright
The melody of “Happy Birthday to You” comes from the song “Good Morning to All”, which was written and composed by American sisters Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill in 1893.

Tokyo - Absent without leaving
The greater Tokyo area has just under 36 million people living in it; it’s still the world’s most populous metropolitan area.

I lived another world, 140 beats per minute
Today marks the 633th day since we met last - an unstriking figure by any numerology. But today, I lay rest a question which has pursued me for just as many days. The night we met, silly circumstances having taken away the day that came before it, we settled on bowling. Whether it was the streaks of strikes, our fluorescent pin-slayers, or perhaps the formidable footwear we wore, there was a...
