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…

Spill pot is expensive
Hello, hello! Writing this from a sticker-clad tiny table at friend’s place. If I am right, this must be Day 15 of these blogs. Which is half-way there. Yay! The day has come out to be a really nice one. Had no college, so I slept in. Woke up to catch up on the world,…
