As someone ridden with privilege, I have secretly taken pride in my ability to see a wrong. On occasions even point it out. A couple of years ago, my cook had proudly announced that her daughter was getting married. At an age which was seemingly unfair. Out of severe disappointment, I had not said much…
A race report of sorts. For my consumption. Also getting back to writing about running and races, which until a few years ago was a regular thing here. I had consciously stopped writing about running since 2017 because as much as I like it, I was not able to be consistent at it and discover…
Continuation from here. Prescript – as an afterthought I hardly bought any new books this year and read from the 2017 baggage/pileup pictured here. I am a little relieved to have cleared some of that load in 2018 😀 Known and strange things by Teju Cole – KT gifted me this book for my 2017…

And because I am a grown-up adult who talks with them almost every day, I decided to write about it and not tell them directly. Very mature.For the longest…
*Abysmal edition*I realized half of 2018 is over and I should take a stock of the books I have read so far. Very thrilled to report that I have hardly read anything! I have many excuses but an inability to find the motivation and the right books to read are the main. By right I…
