July 12, 2020: On self-care

See that bruised nail? I’ve fixed it with pedicure magic. I’ve also learned how to do a temporary tooth filling, waxing, lymphatic drainage self-massage, even how to massage my own back. I’ve used tools I didn’t even know the names… Continue Reading →

July 8, 2020: Quaranthropology of hair

Got my hair done!!! And it felt so good it’s inspired some #Quaranthropology even. Anthropologists actually love thinking about hair and its meaning. Like:- Does cut / shaved hair symbolise submission to authority (think soldiers or ) or castration (think… Continue Reading →

June 25, 2020: Uninspired

I’m so uninspired. All I keep wondering is how have the limits of what is safe for work or not safe for work changed in times of Corona and remote work? That’s it, I shall not even call this #Quaranthropology. But… Continue Reading →

A water pipe in our flat cracked at the weekend so we had to call a plumber. He was the same plumber who fixed our washing machine about 3 weeks ago while sharing conspiracy theories with us. I was looking… Continue Reading →

May 3, 2020: Touch, I need something more

April 21, 2020: I and Thou working remotely

I’m feeling more fatigued by the advice on how to do remote work and zoom than by the actual remote work and zoom calls. Yes, we can improve and optimize our ways of working, but we’re always missing something when we’re remote and far… Continue Reading →
