If . A wonderland at your arms length , a futile yet beautiful word .
A frequent visitor to our daydreams , the word ‘ if ’ often evokes the bittersweet moments of not the past , not the present and not the future . It is a keyhole through which we can gain an insight into ‘ what could have been .’
Editorial
Perhaps that is why we had to put extra time and effort into designing this issue , as we wanted to realize those hopeful moments at least on paper ( since it can ’ t for real ). We would like , therefore , for our readers to devour each and every piece of writing as if they are home-cooked meal by your favourite stranger rather than simply tasting them like beautifully decorated desserts . For that is what this issue is : carnal , personal and real ( but not real ).
