Side Questing through life- In an attempt to be Jack

Are you expecting the same old tagline, where I introduce myself in a few short words? Sorry to disappoint because this is my unnecessarily elaborate answer to the question, “What do you do?”

But, if you are running short on time:

THE TRADES IN QUESTION

TRAVEL

I always believe that more than the journey or destination, it’s the people that add meaning to travel. This is part proof of that and part diary to remember the little details. 

POLITICS

I have recently realized  EVERYTHING is political, from education, to the air we breathe. So, who holds power, who gets to make decisions and how we, the people are impacted by it.  

RUNNING

Running is one of those activities that make you see not only what your body can achieve but also what your mind is capable of. A record of the miles, the lessons, and everything in between.

BOOKS

You don’t choose a book, the book chooses you. (That’s what I say to myself when the 43 unread books stare at me). Also, I love imagining living different lives and sometimes, they’re 6 impossible ones before breakfast. 

CULTURE

Every civilisation leaves behind fragments of itself, in its architecture, its stories, its clothing, its music and the everyday lives of its people. I find myself drawn to these fragments, piecing together the worlds that existed long before ours.

MAILCLUB

In a world full of Short Form Digital Media, I want to make things that can be held, revisited, tucked into books and passed along.
This Mailclub tries to bring a bit of slowness to our collective rushed lives, obscure facts about Indian History and a letter from me.

About Me

I’m interested in how people think, what they believe, what they buy, what they eat and everything in between. This has led me into politics, marketing, history, culture and several other subjects that were supposed to be casual interests.

This website is an attempt to put some of it in one place.

Whether that demonstrates admirable curiosity or an inability to commit to a subject remains an open question.
