Theme: BACK to BASICS

There comes a time in life,
When we need to revisit the drawing board.
When a step back has to be taken back, to leap ahead.
When the bow-string has to be pulled, in order to shoot.
When we go back to the first principle, back to the origin.
Back to where it all began.

When we go - BACK to BASICS.
