To live, I read. More consciously now than before. Right now, I am re-reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. It's a book that can be read in a day, and I am re-reading it again since I found that it spoke to me, and I have much to learn and emulate from it.
I found this book as part of a list of good books that can be read in a day. Other books in the list are here (heads up, it's an IG reel).
Apart from the one book that I have been ruminating on, I have indulged in the thriller genre heavily this year. From the 10 books I've read, I highly recommend 'It's Not What You Think' by Clare Mackintosh. As a former detective she truly wrote a plot twist I did not see coming.
And the one book I would not recommend at all would be a tie between 'The Last One At The Wedding" by Jason Rekulak and "The Last Passenger" by Will Dean. The former has too many plot holes to ignore and the latter seems to be the writers fantasy of torturing a person, a female that is a generally upstanding person in society. From all the books I've read thus far Will Dean has dissapointed me the most since the book initially had so much promise.

To live, I also cook, and recently discovered my passion for precision baking.
Here's an amazing banana bread recipe (no mixer, weighed ingredients) I personally tried! It was crumbly, soft and paired excellently with vanilla ice cream.
To live, I also watch old Malayalam (a south indian language spoken by 35-40 million people worldwide) films, sci-fi English films (Interstellar is a personal commercial favourite), comedy Korean TV shows, along with many other foreign language films and shows.
To live, I am beginning to enjoy learning things with no intention of using them to be productive, like learning languages.
As of now, I speak four languages fluently - English, Malayalam (my native tongue), Hindi, and Marathi. I also understand two more - Tamil, Korean (which I can read and write as well).

I moved to Ireland with the intention of pursuing a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction.
However, the staggeringly low AQI here held me back. It's funny how desirable clear blue skies and lack of air pollution can be.To live, I work too.
To work, I started as a graphic designer and a year in, I found my footing in the world of user experience design.
I find joy in solving puzzles, anticipating problems which come to me naturally as a part of my personality that enjoys preparedness. This natural trait makes me curious about people, their choices and how they navigate our digital world.
An Indian comedian, Kanan Gill, rightfully pointed out how different people use and interact differently with technology. Watch his funny yet observant take here (this one is a YouTube video).
Finally, during my time working with people, I noticed we all seem to have at least one unexpected talent. Mine? I have a strangely sharp memory for numbers. I still remember my very first phone number, as well as my entire family's! What about you? Any quirky talents? I’d love to hear them here (you'll be emailing me your hidden talent!).
