    pre-script – I have two important and dear to me drafts ready to be edited and then published. But I wrote about this and published it instead. Please don’t hesitate, go ahead and question my priorities as I am questioning my entire existence right now. Are you a ritual person? I am into specific rituals.…

    I submitted this (not this, but a really bad draft of this one) piece for Kommune Pune’s Roots story slam. My shitty draft (according to me) got selected! Yay! So posting the final draft here for memory. Also whenever self doubt kicks in 🙂 Shoutouts to S and P for reviewing the edits from time…

    musings

    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…

    Well, I have submitted to the fact that 2018 has not been a great reading year going by my reading cadence. The silver lining, whatever little I read I thoroughly enjoyed. As time measurement in human years goes, 2018 is about to end, so I am nursing my OCD by writing about the books read…

    Older siblings are kind, gentle and giving. By default.Younger might be many other things. But today is not about them.P gives, gives and gives. Even today when (in my head, I knew that we will not be able to see and check on each other for the longest time. And it was beginning to show)…

    If you are a pop culture consumer with first world privileges which include decent bandwidth internet access like me and have not watched Brooklyn Nine-Nine then why even read this?I mean go and watch it on Netflix/another streaming service NOW. We shall bond over it later. GO!As Gina Linetti would say, ‘its the human form…

    Pre-script – The parents were living with me for the past few months. And now they have returned to their home. And I am missing them terribly. 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…
