    Thinking about life and ghevar

    Two day streak, hello, lesgooooo! I do not want to write in bullet points today. Bullets are for when you have thought things out and you just want to jot them down. Today, however, I want to think and figure something out as I write. So, long-ish paragraphs it is. If someone were to go…

    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!

    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. And the rest of C4E of course. We’re a village that way. Thing is, C4E is THE VILLAGE it takes. The village it takes to build things. To build a life.…

     5/21 things I unlearnt at 21

    Mental clutter/Commentary: Hello, hello! Good morning 🙂 When I went to bed last night, I thought I would wake up and write something titled – Postcards from my 21st Birthday. 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…
