Thank you for finding your way here.
I’m Shobaa. A Singaporean who has made London home. I have a full-time job, I am a Feng Shui consultant and astrologer, I am an activist and I write.
What is AYTG?
Part-personal stories, part-cultural critiques, I like to think of AYTG as a space to unpick, magnify and make sense of the idiosyncracities of living a modern, human life.
Some of the themes I explore:
Uncertainty and messiness
The eternal human need for control and how it shows up in our lives
Life not going according to plan
Failure, sorrow and waiting …
… in a world that doesn’t make space for all this.
Do you actually believe in God?
Yes. Not in the fierce, scary Master of the Universe way. More in the - constant bantering companion who mostly ignores me - way.
My Favourite Pieces
Become unshameable - A quality I’ve had to work very hard to achieve and why I think becoming unshameable is a revolutionary act in our times.
Nice or Kind? - Where I ponder the stark differences between the two and why it matters.
Betwixt Despair and Hope - As humans, we often swing between despair and hope. I have come to distrust both. But then what’s the alternative?
Zugunruhe - Have you heard of it? It is a German time for migratory restlessness. What’s that got to do with Christmas, you ask?
There’s a Buddha in my room - A story about why there is a buddha in my bedroom.
