Your skills don’t match your taste, yet + random updates.
Hello, hello! Happy Independence Day. (No, I don’t have more HID thoughts.) The last time I was here was two weeks back. And every time I saw the Aug 3 date stamp, I wanted to sit down and write again. Random things kept me occupied. Some little life updates: Okay bye. AK!

Che La Luna and other things
Hi, here are some thoughts. See you, dear reader. Love, AK! Fun fact: The featured image is of a boat on Lake Como. I am quite obsessed with Como lately.

Hello, hello!
Well, hello there! AK back to the Internet, reporting live from her very own Tian Starbucks. To begin with, I have a number of complaints with this new set up they have. First: Where is my big table? I need more space for my arms and notebooks and watch and bracelets and drink and food…

Check-in: 13/07.
It is 2:28 AM right now. I have to be up early-ish for a morning flight tomorrow. So I decided I’d not sleep at all. My brain works crazy. I’m in Bangalore for a couple of days so in all probability checking-in with myself won’t be happening. And because I’m up anyhow, I thought I’d…

A great adventure <3
These are MY people. One year back, I stumbled upon an eccentric man’s website. So I tweeted him a hello-let’s-do-something-together. That is how I met Saurabh Garg, Chandni Menda and Pooja Sahatiya.

However, having woken up a little late, doing a v smol workout and making myself a really pretty breakfast, I think I do not want…

Writing: The 3 coolest ideas I’ve stumbled upon
This tweet by Paras Chopra For some reason, and I can’t pinpoint it yet, I thought of this every day for a week when I came across this. When I live in a pool of infinite content, nothing really sticks. This did. And kind of made me go, “Fine, guess I’ll write now.” On an…

A lesson in observation: Creating merch for DD
One of my favourite, super-exciting projects under Decoding Draupadi has been creating Merch. I have a number of personal reasons why but this piece is not about that. This is about a tiny, little and very-obvious reminder that sat right in front of me all this while but only clicked yesterday. I don’t know how…
