Writing round-up: Summer 2020

Folks - it's been a while. I know. I've been posting my blogs publicly on other platforms and I've also been writing long, personal pieces which I've been circulating with close friends. All that is a long way of saying that I've neglected Shravanblog. I didn't even get around to writing the long-simmering Part 3 of Disappointing Women of New York.


For those who'd like to catch up on my recent writing, here are a few pieces for you:


- In Founding Fuel yesterday, I looked at the experience of achieving financial independence and how to navigate the relationship with your parents after you've accomplished it.


- Meanwhile, in The Hindu, I suggested that we should treat journalism as a public good (like we treat fire fighters, for example) and fund it as such. Tell me what you think! 


You can track all my writing for The Hindu here.


I'm quite proud of a piece I wrote for them earlier this year, exploring why so many Indians find it so easy to cheer for Pakistani cricketers. I daresay it's one of my better ones.


I'm working on a longer writing project - a special blog series - that I hope to launch by the end of this year. It's very meaningful to me and you'll soon see why I've been a bit careful about discussing it. 


In a few weeks I'll share a blog about how I connect to my Indian identity through... my parents' college friend group?? Yes. Really. I'll explain. 


Anyway, sorry again for not posting enough here. Life in New York rumbles on.


As you were.
