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…

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…

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’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…

Learning patience
Today has been another sweet day – nice and mundane. Slept some good number of hours, recorded a video for college, studied business valuation in class, got home, gymmed, worked out of Jamjar, spent some time at the beach, walked around with Saurabh, made some dhaniya chutney (did some preparing food after a very long…

Weak in the knees
I really like my Sunday. Particularly when there’s nothing I’m supposed to do. So I can do things that I really want to do. Last weekend, I spent my time figuring out things on Spill Pot. Through this week, I’ll populate it. Figure out how to actually keep it running. Today, I had a chill…

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…
