2025 / #07: Declutter
I’m back from two weeks in Goa, and honestly, I don’t quite feel like getting back to real life. I’m a quarter Goan, and there’s a part of me that feels like home there. It’s hot and muggy, but I love that the capital city

2025 / #06: Looking Forward
May and June are my busiest months every year, and somehow, every year, I forget this fact and am surprised anew by it. I haven’t figured out why, but lettering work accumulates to the middle of the year, while December-January are arid, cleft as they are by the

A Brief Note on Fandom
That’s January done. At first, it felt like it was going by too fast, but then I looked at everything I’d done in the month (I’ve returned to keeping a diary regularly, and it helps one see what’s happening

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 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
