if you haven't seen Vijay Anand's Guide, you now have no excuse not to.

One of my favourite quotes about life by Montaigne - “I want us to be doing things, prolonging life's duties as much as we can. I want death to find me planting my cabbages, neither worrying about it nor the unfinished gardening.”

my response to Mayor Mamdani, the reporters calling me, etc.

the best film of 2025 idc

Do you remember the first time YOU watched Ratatouille? 🎬 Our mobile cinema is moving between camps to spread moments of joy. After crafting their popcorn cups, the kids enjoyed some salty popcorn and a childhood classic 🍿

And of desire...

Oh, be careful, Merriam-Webster, lest we suffer vertigo from the dizzying heights of our lexical ground.

Remember these kids? This is them now

When you love someone, you let them sleep.

I get the temptation to chalk Jane Austen up as some kind of affirmative action author, but that just simply is not true. She is beloved by readers and writers alike. She invented and perfected fiction techniques that we take for granted today. Nabokov taught an entire course on Jane Austen iirc. He initially didn’t like her and then became obsessed and called people who didn’t appreciate her “bad readers”. Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem honoring her writing. Sir Walter Scott described her writing of ordinary characters as the most wonderful he ever saw. Some other writers didn’t like her, but her influence is undeniable.

@JamesWHankins1 Great shelf. He needs to read women. Austen’s work alone adds a fundamental layer that intersects with Tolstoy on matters of economy and kinship, but fleshes it out and draws it through the wit in layers of comedy and irony.

At my peak

Mount Everest from Bihar 🏔️ How could I miss this truly Eureka moment of Everest, Lhotse and surrounding ranges from the Bihar! First clear views I've seen from here. This is what the Great Trigonometric Survey of India would've witnessed on a regular basis in the 19th century.
