You Decide.

The thing not related to Trump that you wanted to read on the internet today. — You can’t tell a story without a preface. That face needs to be masked and you need to make sure you get far away from people. Be alone. Hide your face. Hope that serves as a sufficient reminder that we’re still in a pandemic (I don’t know why people say…

The Wall of Privilege

We crossed the US-Mexico border on foot, returned unharmed, but still feel crushed by our own privilege. — I like to begin narrating this story from that moment in the hat shop…conveniently named The Hat Shop, on the boardwalk of La Jolla beach in San Diego. …

Of cute goats and other precautionary measures.

The gender-neutral, nonpartisan and safe conversation menu has very limited options. So I decided to do my favourite thing: start a one-way dialogue about it. It’s a tough life being a millennial. It’s even tougher when you’re a veteran millennial. Almost a non-millennial. An ugly puddle of somewhat-young and nearly…

Fauji Brats — leaving footprints on the sands, hills, roads, and non-roads of India.

‘Where are you from?’ It’s the second most overrated question after ‘What’s your name?’ Even Shakespeare agrees. I’m from nowhere, I’ve said for a thousand years. But no one’s listening. AGRA, UTTAR PRADESH It started here. You might know it for The Taj Mahal. I know it for the Military…

Take Two.

Take Two. It was 1992, my father tells me. I was not old enough to recollect the year, or much of what happened. We would spend summer vacations on road trips to the hills with family friends. The usual pack included 4 parents, 4 kids, a tiny car, and a…

A year of being Indian, vegetarian, and out of shape in Silicon Valley.

I have a pretty good view from the desk at my office. I see beautiful looking people with seemingly functioning brains - jogging and exercising in the middle of the day. This is usually when I am busy eating my chocolate fro-yo. …

How to Lose Weight.

I have no idea. Stop eating sugar or just tuck your tummy in when they’re snapchatting you. Now that I have your attention, I want to talk about something more important. The Internet and the colossal damage it is doing to my determination to stay happy. I happen to be…

It’s Corporate, B*tch.

If I were to describe myself as a human being on the salsa scale, I’d say I am extremely mild. News reader, astronaut, Catcher in the Rye, lie detector — were all professions I rejected in my head to begin what would be a long, fulfilling, just-the-right-quantity-of-lime-in-guacamole-esque journey at a…
