“It's okay to be multi-disciplinary.”
I like figuring out how things work, making things look right and occasionally disappearing down a completely unrelated rabbit hole.

Home, plural
I've lived in a few places.
Home is a complicated question.
Packing: personal best.
We moved around quite a bit when I was growing up. Every new place meant starting over, finding my people and getting used to a different version of everyday life.

Maybe that's why I still like exploring places. I'm in Guwahati now, with the rest of the Northeast waiting to be explored.

Seven states is the goal. Three down, four to go.

Window seat. Obviously.
Snob in training · The vinyl player
A very good record collection is the dream.
A record player, a carefully curated stack of vinyl and excellent taste in music. I'm working towards all three. For now, this digital version will do.
The analogue dream. The digital reality.
Pretending there's a needle involved.
Record 1 of 3 · for sketching

[Why this one: the record I put on when the sketchbook comes out.]
The coffee receipt
I want to become a coffee connoisseur.
At the moment, I'm better at drinking coffee than explaining it. I know what I like ordering. I'd like to get to the point where I know why I like it, too.
So I'm trying different coffees, asking questions and figuring it out one cup at a time.
The research is ongoing.
Verdict: pending.

Oat flat white. The usual. Still no questions.
Painting in a café, Shillong.

I did eventually look up from the sketchbook.
Off the screen
I still like making things the old-fashioned way.
Cap off. No going back.
A Micron pen, a watercolour tin and something worth drawing. That's usually enough.
I like the slowness of it. No layers to rename, no files to organise and no undo button. You make a mark and figure out what to do with it.
Sometimes it's nice to make something without needing it to go anywhere.
