Hello from Ishtiaque!
I believe every moment is an adventure that leads into the unknown. We never know what waits around the corner. Sometimes, that’s all it takes for a story to begin. It grows into conversations, finds its way into books or films, lingers as an idea, or quietly becomes research.
Perhaps that is why I’ve never seen storytelling, filmmaking, research, and economics as separate paths. They are simply different ways of exploring the same world. Every ending quietly becomes the beginning of the next chapter.
This little corner of the internet is where those ideas eventually arrive.
