Amalgamation 2
1: Religion I took two planes last weekend – to and from Bangalore (yes, I live in Chennai, yes it’s a roughly 40 minute plane-ride, what about it). It was a smooth ride to Bangalore. Around 15 minutes into the flight, I pressed my nose against the window and saw that we were floating on… Continue reading

English, Punctures, and Haunted Higginbothams
My social calendar has oddly been packed for the last month. Going from being somewhat of a loner for the first three months of the year to being surrounded by 3-4 people at any given point in time has been strange but has also been quite fun.

The Perils of Ranganathan Street

The university had suggested a couple places where our unpaid labour would be much appreciated and so it was that after a hurried email correspondence, I found myself wobbling my way over to… Continue reading

Dies Illa
Hello! On Friday, I was approached by a friend from my film class who wished to visit the nearby town of Warrington on Saturday. She invited me and I, incredibly touched that she had decided to take pity on my hermit self, said yes. We set out fairly early. At 8 in the morning, in… Continue reading

Trains, Tea, and a Certified Lack of Turning Into Bears
Hello. It’s me again. When I left off last time, I had just reached Scotland. At this point in time, not only have I finished reaching Scotland, I have also reached Liverpool. And so, here’s a post about my week (+ last Saturday) so far. On Saturday, Barbara and I set off from her house… Continue reading

Here Be Dragons
I’m currently in the UK. My college was offering a semester abroad program. I applied and after five complication-filled months, much shopping, and two bumpy flights, I found myself in Liverpool, which is where I’ve been for the past month. It’s been an incredible stay so far. However, descriptions of the marvels of Liverpool will… Continue reading
