History is one of my favourite subjects. Always has been. Back in school, I used to rest my chin on the desk, and listen away as the History teacher (who also happened to be my favourite teacher; no surprises there) taught us about what had happened around the world, in its past. But I knew there was always more to it.

As we grow up, we start asking the more significant questions in life. It's the same with history. More than just "what happened" and "when it happened", we must also ask "why it happened". And in the pursuit of our own curiosities, and with a stroke of passion, we end up loving this need/want to know.

A decade ago, I learned history from textbooks and encyclopedias. Now, a single conversation with a colleague is a lesson in world history. What hasn't changed is my love for gaining more knowledge about the world.

After all, the Greek word "historia" means "knowledge acquired by investigation."
