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…

Shotguns I never have to call
So, however entertaining it might be, yesterday’s post was a cop out. An all nighter with tons of work + long day at college + a streak of sleepless days. She slept at 2:30 and woke back up at 11:30. Ate and napped till next morning. So, that one was a lifeline I needed. No…

What even is sleep?
I almost considered not writing today. But then, I know I’d feel bad after. Plus, having done a part of something, you don’t want to give up the rest. Momentum really is a strong driver of action. Or streaks, like in Snapchat. In the life of AK, ICA week is perhaps the hardest. Especially when…

Calling big WB’s bluff
I have had two huge mason jars of coffee today. Didn’t nap after, obviously. Finished a couple of things, happy about that. Now I want to write this, go to the beach, make my monthly Art Station trip to go buy a new hobby, come back, eat dinner, study for an exam tomorrow, and nap.…
