It really contrasts with what’s in the CD collection here, yes, CD collection. Kept for the sake of nostalgia, realizing, not…

How can you prepare yourself to effortlessly engage in creative thinking
Working in the internet to help people find their ‘creative voice’ for quite a while now, here at Design Kompany at first but more and more on my personal website dipikakohli.com and through projects of Kismuth, where I write the philsophy-style essays around the topic of ‘what if?’, which, admittedly, I think is getting completed…

Can I find out what I don’t know I don’t know? Yes, with ‘discovery learning’
