5 Things I Consumed Last Week (the week in pictures)
on handwritten recommendations
Hello Nello!
Apologies on the late issue, the weekend was a blur and I am still trying to absorb where it flew by. I have a couple of special recommendations for you- hand-written and quite alive rather than just this homogenised font. This week was the book swap week of the month and we had so much fun, I barely got time to do anything else.

Snippets from the Book Swap
This event has become a safe place for people to have curious conversations (majorly geeky ones around books), share their stories about reading and get some personalised recommendations.
It always takes me by surprise to see how passionate they are about reading because it is very difficult to find such people at work :/
Here is the stack we exchanged- should provide you enough recommendaitons for months to come :)
Someone was extremely kind to note all the recommendations people gave during the session in this impeccable handwriting
Handwritten notes are my favorite things of all time - be it letters or postcards, there’s nothing like them. I will cherish these for a long time, hope you do too.
In other news
I took some inspiration from my recent trip to Kerala, India and an enormous amount of time we spent on kayaking and riding boats and drew this as a postcard.
I have been cooking
I am trying to get my mumbo-jumbo back again and tyring to experiment a bit. Cooked a couple of delish dishes the past few days
Gotta rush now before I get late on Monday, have a great week ahead!
See you next time folks.
