“Expertise” and Startups

You don’t have to be an industry expert to be a great asset — I graduated from college with degrees in Biology and English Literary and Cultural studies. Today, I work in Strategy, HR and Communications at one of India’s leading Fintech Startups. How on earth did that happen?

Miyazaki Mondays

A ritual in the making — It is a Monday morning. While others may be groaning at their alarm clocks reminding them that workweek has, in fact, begun once again, I jolt up at 6:30 am — half an hour before my alarm is scheduled for. I down a bottle of water and feel the cold…

How typhoid got me out of the house

I have from time to time felt that the dose of irony in my life gets suspiciously high. Sometimes it creeps in unwelcome, preying on what’s good and pushing buttons. Other times, it forces me to open my eyes a little, and give into what feels uncomfortable. …

20 Seconds

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, maybe basic hygiene is our ticket to staying sane — I was a junior in college when I downloaded Headspace. I remembered opening some Buzzfeed article or the other and looking at ways to keep stress-induced anxiety in-check.

Sports, sports, sports

When I was ten years old, we moved to India. At that time, around 2006, most of the families that made up the Indian family friend circle in Portland’s Beaverton district had started to relocate, some to other cities, and some to the other side of the world. Parents moved…

Practical Eating

A list of things I absolutely cannot eat when trying to make a good first impression — Salad: Don’t get me wrong, a cherry tomato here and there, even small olive slices, don’t do much harm. With salads, my main fear is the hero component: the leaf. Be it spinach or lettuce, arugula or rocket, there is just no elegant, efficient way to really get leaves folded…
