Existential Crisis

I came across Suresh Chandrasekaran’s blog just over a year ago. The first post I read was a saga of self- deprecation- his signature style. If I remember correctly, he took his readers into his kitchen and shared the delight he experienced when reigning supreme in that hallowed place traditionally dominated by women. His post […]

Sunday Brunch #8

Hola people! Here we are again, what? I felt very uneasy last week when I couldn’t post the Sunday Brunch. It was as if I hadn’t lived that week at all (Okay, I’m exaggerating a bit). Then I thought, let that be so. This year, therefore, my year will have only 51 weeks. That’s not […]

How Do You Define Yourself

Chiding myself for my fanciful assumptions, I decided to wait for a bit before I […]

Sunday Brunch (#5)

The past week has largely been an offline week for me; very little writing and almost no reading. I did read a couple of very significant posts which I am happy to share with you. Dish #1: I discovered Andrea Maurer through a weird series of disconnected events. Once the sequence had played itself out, […]

Sunday Brunch (#3)

The theme this week seems to be: Be Yourself. There seems a kind of pattern in the reading I come across every week. There seems to be a common thread running through all my reading fare. I am surprised at the discovery. At the same time I am surprised at my surprise. What else did […]
