Parenthood

The Journey We Never Thought of...Parenthood is taking us to a new level of maturity, strength, and perspective on life. Your priority becomes your child, and everything else shifts to accommodate this incredible journey.Every morning and evening, we take Anav for a walk. I like to think of this as \quality time for the three of us\ and, ultimately, as a bonding time for us as a couple and as firs...

Friends

Vinoo was beaming - holding his little kids close to him in the Whatsapp picture. He was still very recognizable - same face, just grown up. Vinod Sutar, as I knew him growing up - next door neighbor, ok batsman and ok bowler. Kinda like me. Soft spoken, unlike me.We became friends fast. And our clothing was never anybody’s subject of envy. I always thought he and Amrut Sutar were brothers. Same s...

My plan with thinkdeli

I started thinkdeli almost exactly a year ago. I wanted to build an app that would let me start writing in a second, and would work offline. With these modest goals, I started building. Along the way I stumbled upon an excellent community of writers, readers, photographers, office goers, who liked thinkdeli the way I did.

The festival took an unexpected turn when Amar finally stepped forward, a tremor of vulnerability in his voice. “My father often spoke of loyalty, but he never understood the power of forgiveness.” As he shared his family’s pain, a story of loss and betrayal unfolded—a history that mirrored Arjun’s own. The crowd fell silent, captivated by the raw honesty. In that moment, the air shifted; it was a...

Rant: Influencers

Some hot takes first - No food is to die for. No restaurant is worth waiting 4 months to get a table. Nothing is worth standing for an hour in a queue.The people who say such things and peddle this shit are signalling that they have better taste and better access than you. Most of them don’t. They just want you to believe it. They want to sell you something.We should trust influencers with a bette...

Visit to Blossoms

Usually on one day of the weekend we like to go out somewhere. Be it Agara Lake, IDC Kitchen (our favorite dosa place), Lal Bagh Botanical Garden or a simple evening dinner at RMZ. A weekend before Dasara holidays we decided to visit Blossoms Bookstore on Church Street.We were running a little behind the schedule and by the time we came out of the metro station it was past our usual lunch time.
