Veg pulao khaungi
Hello, hello! I woke up craving some of the veg pulao that grandma used to make for my buas when they’d leave home — for sasural, kaam, trips, interviews, all that. It was our typical pack-this-for-your-journey meal. I was left behind and would cry so much saying goodbye. I remember bawling and missing them with…

Do things everyday
It’s March 26, 2025. I will turn 23 in exactly two months. That’s a serious age. In two more years, I will be 25. That’s more demanding. Greater expectations. I’m not scared of it. Hopeful actually. Now I don’t think I have made something worthwhile of my life so far. Or satisfactory. But I’m confident…

Luck and risk are siblings
I have a feeling today’s post might come out better than most. Let’s see. About the day, woke up, recorded a 6 AM podcast with Saurabh and Riya, went to college, read Show your work – notes soon, got an Uber Black for home – cool experience, worked on Spill Pot – this is my…

Being consistently not stupid
If a friend would like to do an intervention on me, now might be the right time. That apart, here are a few thoughts from my day. One. Munger. I am yet to read Poor Charlie’s Almanack. Internet has given me bits and pieces here and there. And each of those things have left me…

You have all you need to show up
Hello, hello! Holi has been celebrated. Friends, food, colour, drinks, all the jazz. Now, it’s 11:06 PM; I am sitting in my bed. Ready to write down about my inner world. But I think I am too tired to put that stuff into words. All I know is: I want to have a nice, new…
