Reading Anne Carson and Marguerite Porete to learn more about women, mysticism and the Beguine movement. Creating small moments, like arriving a little bit early to a work meeting, to study topics that are of my personal interest. I missed studying and my routine so much.

Random life update:
• never changed the auto caps on my new phone. The iPhone 15 front camera sucks but it feels good to hold a sturdy, crisp version.
• pursuing a masters from a good uni but a bad faculty.
• exam szn is on me but I haven’t started yet.
• I miss my old desk space. It was simple, but it had a a lot of space and character — post its, sketches, random tags, chocolate wrappers, notes.
• I have finally found the perfect brick red shade of everything journal and I use the fountain pen my friend gifted me as a farewell gift. I’m a writer, I feel like one in moments like these.
• I think I’ve found my early 20s favourite band, it’s got to be Kings of Leon.
Pretty much it for now. Hope the winter arc bestows some good pressure induced productivity to combat exam szn.

Amrita Sher-Gil & a self portrait
i do quite enjoy it when you pass by a stranger you find attractive & you both share a look. knowing you’d like to say hello but you don’t. rather hang on to the moment knowing you’ll never see them again

——Jhumpa Lahiri in Sabyasachi at the Indian Coffee House, Kolkata. 📸Vogue, 2016.
Although the shops of college streets hold her novels, no one recognises her. Lahiri is fluent in Bengali, but speaks with an American cadence. Despite being born in Kolkata and moving to America at the oblivious age of three, she is a foreigner, an outsider to the booksellers, waiters and students she encountered.
“I’ve always had this feeling wherever I go. Of not feeling fully part of things, not fully accepted, not fully inside of something. Identify has been such an explosive territory for me…so hard, so painful at times.”
Lahiri moved to Rhode island during the 1970s due to her father’s job as a librarian at the University of Rhode Island. Leaving India and accepting America wasn’t her choice to make and she’s had to grapple with its consequence all her life.
“My parents relationship with Kolkata is so strong. Growing up, the absence of Kolkata was always present in our lives.”
Taken from an interview to Vogue, on the release of her book - In Altre Parole. (2016)
In two of my personal favourites, The Namesake and The Lowland, she weaves language with the politics of inherited identity and memory by basing them in 70s Kolkata.
2024’s book fair ‘want to read’ and some other visuals. didn’t buy a single book because it was the end of the month, money was a bit short and also sometimes i like to take my time around and research before buying literally anything.
