Kafka on animals
Just started reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer.
Meat Is Murder
I’ve been paying more attention to food recently. If truth be told, I’ve been “fussy” about food, in various respects, since I was sixteen. I was raised a Vegetarian, tried eating meat for three years, during my early twenties, and then settled for Pescatarianism. I kept fish in my diet for practicality: lunch with clients, [...]

I read a good article in the Guardian Review this morning. Laura Miller, a literary journalist, documents how mainstream novelists are finally acknowledging the internet, as a life changing utility, instead of continuously trying to write timeless masterpieces, rooted in historic settings.

Of course I did. All of them. Twice. via “lonely sandwich”.
Staccato
I like James Elroy—even though he’s a slight racist. Why? Well, shortly after putting down LA Confidential, I read about his roller coster life in an issue of Esquire.

Thinking: Big Mouth
A HR Manager once told me, “Dhiren, shout about what you do. It’s important that your Line Manager knows all about the good work that you’re doing.” Really? I was baffled to be honest. I’ve never been one to rave about my work – good or bad – because I’m just not that egotistical. Besides, [...]
Hello Stranger
I haven’t read/looked at the Sartorialist in ages, yet reading it today reminded me why it’s one of the best fashion blogs on the web. All the pictures are shot using a high quality camera, probably a Canon Mk 1D or an instrument of similar caliber, and he’s just excellent at framing people. As for the [...]
