    I went to watch the movie Thappad today. It’s outstanding, well-written and made. Yada yada yada. Experts have already spoken truckloads about it. I don’t think I can add anything more. So I’ll instead write about my neighbors (a couple) in the movie hall. They reached late. Since I was in the aisle seat I…

    book review, books, books I love

    Pre script: I picked up this book from fellow book lover and voracious reader Tanvi’s IG book reviews. I love a compelling, atmospheric, well-written fiction book. Especially when the writer has found her unique voice. I have never been a fan of Liz Gilbert’s non-fiction books. Have I read them? – Yes. Did I enjoy…

    This (2019) has been a great running year. I logged the most KMs this year. I was regular (barring the 30-days gap in October after an accident) and consistent. One of the highlights was changes in diet to include more of a few foods and actively monitor what I was eating. I was not really…

    Because rituals are a safe space here I go again! Sharing the books I read through the latter half of 2019. Not as many as I would have liked. Books from 1st half of 2019 are listed here. Educated by Tara Westover – This is one of the top 2019 reads for me. I loved…

    I read the beautiful debut novel The Far Field by Madhuri Vijay last weekend and tried penning down the stir of emotions it caused. Sometimes all we remain to someone’s experience of life is an outsider. Beyond family, friends and belonging in a way we are all outsiders to the joy, pain, suffering of others.…

    I got to spend a lot of time with my parents – I was truly at home this time by working from home for 10 days and being around them 24/7. the ‘why’ is not important, but lets call it an health embuggarance. 2 days before I left, we were discussing employment in the 70s…

    musings

    Memory is weird. I was on yet another journey yesterday, hopping homes. From one where parents live to the one which now feels like one. It’s been more than 15 years that this phase of my life started. Involving travel, hopping cities, homes. I cannot seem to remember how I felt during that first travel…

    Is your name-game strong? Are you a name-purist who can remember and pronounce the names of other people as they expect? (I can’t. But I have a good memory so I can usually figure out names of acquaintances I forget after a few minutes in a conversation). Anywho, a few weeks ago I ran a…

    I finished reading the remarkable Educated by Tara Westover a couple of days ago and can’t seem to get Tara’s story out of my head. So here are few thoughts I am jotting down (might add more later). I had never read a story about a poor (financially), real, white, Christian person before this. So…

    Tah-dah! This is exciting. On an otherwise unbearably rainy weekend. (Apart from the drenched, rain-soaked long run I could log today). Anywho, 2019 has been a bit positive when it comes to reading and books. So doing my half-yearly round up of the books I have read so far. Because writing about books you read…
