Tuberoses and a negotiation table
Good morning. I have an hour before the first call of my day. An empty calendar after, meaning not too many calls. And a brain full of thoughts. Of course, no? So I figured, I would sit down to write a little something. Been a hot minute. Since I have not been a superbly regular…

Lo and behold!
Good morning from my pretty little blue couch in Powai. It is 11:01 AM. I am working from home home. Breakfast was cut and ready before I opened my eyes. Lunch is waiting and I’m still on breakfast. I’ve got Keratin treatment in my hair. My insane size TV is playing Lika’s Morning Coffee Grooves.…

Gruns + getting hot ✨
GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING! It is precisely a month to my birthday. I realised this only when I typed out the date for this document. The past few years, I’ve lost the eagerness I had for my birthdays.

Lately, I’ve been excited about…
Hello, hello! It’s been a while that I came back here. Things have been like things are — good, bad, simple, the usual. My days have a certain sense of routine now, which I like. I wake up by 6:30 or 7. I’m working by 8-ish. Lunch is 1 PM — I try to eat…

Lemon Rinds
The opening line for yesterday’s unwritten, unpublished blog post was – “I have just had Butter Chicken; the light in my room is a warm yellow; life feels good.” But I could not get myself to writing it. I did write an equally lengthy mail/report to @Saurabh though. To which he (basically) said: If you can write…
