What is love?

A question that I try to find an answer to through different creations, but the answer remains a mystery.

Currently my answer is,

Love is like drops in the ocean. It is all, but not all.

With love, Melinda

It started in the dreamy, cold, mysterious city of St Petersburg in Russia

This platform has been a developing project of mine but it all started with a famous book by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. In fact, what inspired me to start a podcast episode was the short story White Nights in December 2025. The story explores how unconditional loving can be and what it means to love beyond limits. Therefore this project led to more exploration and experiences, turning into a podcast. I am honoured to talk to many people across various fields and places in the world and meet them in love.

I am a student, teacher, traveller, aspiring researcher and reader, and above all a lover of all.
