Really? In Bonn, Germany I get asked all the time what I do as an
occupation. I have NEVER been asked what I do for physical activity! I
wonder if it a life phase specific question?

Speaking of which, I’m curious - given the very real threat of Weltkrieg 3
- how have your decisions changed?
I’ve put off long term large purchases like a home for :
1. Spending time intensively with my nephews and nieces nearby
2. riding my bicycle through the enormous park for 20

kitchen”.
It took me ten years to squeeze the biryani recipe out of her.
But I have a question for you. What flavours/textures did you single out as
particularly Hyderabadi, that you want to learn to cook? I ask because

Guten Tag zurück aus Bonn!
Your email made me reach out to another friend/now acquaintance who was
interested in designing Life - for himself and others. It morphed into
another monster altogether but his vision remains the same.

It’s an interesting people filter to have and I laugh at my predicament

Tell me then, in what other areas of your life have you applied the new
learnings with money?
I find the human relationship with money extraordinarily interesting. My
current social experiment is asking how much could I pay them to take a 3
minute cold shower every day, for a whole year. No hot wa

It was, privileged, to say the least. Not a fan. The misogyny was palpable,
locker room sentiment dressed nicely with single malt whiskey.

I started reading the Murderbot series - such fun!! It also reminds me of a
little known author Sarah King and her Forging Zero series which I also
really enjoyed. But then I’m a sucker for post apocalyptic sci-fi

Thaths,
As usual, your book recommendation emails evoke equal measure anticipation
and dread - my wallet feels so skinny afterwards but my soul so sated.
Thank you for these. I’ll definitely be reading the one on travel writing!

Welcome Salil, Mahima,

Ask myself everyday, what I want.
The death of my father this year taught me a great deal about how quiet he

own family anything.
