Sometimes I think my life is made up of quiet repetitions - measuring rice in the same steel cup every night, walking the same 2.4 km route to work, watching the same sky change colors at the same hour. And yet, within that rhythm, so much shifts.
I work in a field most people do not think about: anti-money laundering. I write logic that helps financial institutions understand risk numbers, timelines, behaviors, relationships. But beneath all the rules and edge cases, what I am really drawn to is the idea of clarity: how do you make something make sense?
That question started following me a long time ago.
I grew up in a religious telugu home, time felt slow in the best way. My parents and my brother gave me a life filled with patience and wonder. I remember the sound of the ceiling fan on hot afternoons and the way our home always smelled like something warm was cooking. These small things still anchor me.
School taught me how to be sharp and curious. College taught me how to lead and listen. And now, work teaches me discipline - how to think structurally, how to question what seems obvious, how to take messy things and make them elegant.
But in between all of that, I have always been reading. I read slowly, often returning to lines that hold a quiet kind of truth. My shelves are full of underlined thoughts, and I rarely finish a book without copying something into a notebook. Reading reminds me that there is more than one way to live a life.
Lately, I have also been learning calligraphy. I am still figuring it out - the pressure of each stroke, the rhythm of curves and pauses. It has become a quiet ritual that helps me slow down, and remember that improvement is often invisible but always happening.
This blog is that space for me. A place to write gently, to notice slowly, to collect things that might otherwise be forgotten. I do not write every day, but I carry stories with me. Some find their way here.
