Status Update / 2023 / Week 40

Hello, the Internet! It’s Saturday afternoon, and K has forbidden me from humming “Voodoo Mama” from the Babylon soundtrack because it’ll inevitably get stuck in her head and she’ll keep wracking her brain about where it’s from. So instead, you can listen to it: A week

Status Update / 2023 / Week 39

I’m writing this from my other favourite café – the one where I’m friends with the owners. One of them had just come back from a coffee conference, and gave me a packet of coffee to take home, and made me a delicious pourover of an as-yet-unlaunched coffee. Pays

Status Update / 2023 / Week 38

I’m running a bit sick this weekend, so as I start writing this, it’s intended to be shorter than usual. We’ll find out. It was Ganesh Chaturthi on the 19th, so I spent it with family in Mumbai, as I do every year. I’m not a

Status Update / 2023 / Week 37

When I last did one of these – sheesh, three months ago – I was writing them to figure out how I wanted to use the blog. I feel closer to having it sorted out – it’s a good place to do series of posts about the same thought, for example, and

Status Update / 2023 / Week 27

First week of July. I have a habit of thinking back on my life twice a year – towards the end of the year, and in July, around my birthday. These are both arbitrary times to do this – I suppose ideally one should be thinking deeply about one’s life all

Status Update / 2023 / Week 26

That’s half the year done! Wow, we made it. It’s Saturday afternoon, and I’m on my second cup of coffee. I usually drink only two cups of coffee a day – at noon and 6 p.m. – because historically, my body has had a low tolerance for caffeine,

Status Update / 2023 / Week 25

So. Here’s what I’m trying to do. I’ve said many times over that I want to use my blog more, so I want to start doing that. All the stuff that I naturally post on Twitter? Let’s see if it can go here. I want to

More Thoughts on Failure

Last week, I wrote a fairly detailed newsletter on how intentional failure is a big part of learning how to do something. Trying, failing and integrating the failure into your process is how one learns to do anything as an adult. Writing that essay got me thinking about things other

The Monkey Man of Delhi

If you’ve been following me on Twitter or through my newsletter, you might know that I’ve been writing a lot more these days, and particularly trying my hand at writing my own comics. In that vein, I am extremely proud to present to you, a short comic written
