About The Blessed Kat
About The Blessed Kat
On her second week at work, a man she was mildly introduced to crept up slowly from behind her cubicle, his arms clasped to its edges like a gecko. “Hello, Kat Rahmat. Kat Kat. The Blessed Kat.” He chanted.
Only after she saw the elevator doors close behind him did she realise he had toyed with her sir name, a derivative Arabic word meaning Blessing. Cute.
About the author
Informal
Kat Rahmat, 25 is an absent-minded and restless git. In many ways both humorous and factual, it is a miracle she made it to her age. Perhaps her laid-back and indiscriminate approach to most things will excuse her.
Her favorite places are Edinburgh, London and Jakarta. A faithful reader of The Guardian, she has been accused of being an Anglophile, having a lifelong appreciation for English Literature. Nevertheless, she also reads Southern writers and history books and is sensitive to any hint of undeserved supremacy. Her other interests include Politics, Philosophy and Culture.
She frequents Facebook.
Formal
