So I walk into a restaurant for a casual lunch and this is what happens! Is this what living in DC is like? I wasn’t even dressed nicely!

Tar Heel Ten Miler Finish Line | It was emotional & exhilarating to hit that finish line after surviving the 10 miles & doing it for the first time! I had a genuinely good time & have been enjoying the work and milestones along the way— can’t wait for what comes next!

These values matter more than ever in a dark era marked by cruelty and bigotry. The world will miss you, but I hope your teachings continue to inspire people to lead the fight for a more just world! 2/2

Rest in peace, Pope Francis! Even as a non-religious person, his values of kindness, empathy, love for marginalized people, inclusion, and humanism have always deeply moved me. 1/2

It was nostalgic and emotional to return to my old stomping grounds for my 1st Ten-Miler race (took me 2 hours) & put the heels to good use on the hills! It’s been about 8 months since I started running, & so happy to see the progress and seeing the returns of the labor. Onward!

Saw Anubrata Chatterjee and friends present a ‘Beats and Pieces’ concert with a modern twist on #IndianClassicalMusic, hosted by SankalpRTP. This was my third time seeing him in concert, the first time dating 12 years back in 2013 in India at IIT Kharagpur!

This is a poweful song about grief and loss by Bad Bunny, and how the history and fate of Hawai’i and Puerto Rico follow similar trajectories. English translations of the lyrics here: genius.com/Genius-engli...

Genius English Translations – Bad Bunny - LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii (English Translation)

[Intro] / This was a dream I had / [Verse 1] / She looks beautiful even when things sometimes go wrong / In her eyes, a smile holds back her tears / The foam of her shores looks

Fluffies are settling in their new space, perhaps even faster than their humans!

Kaushiki Chakraborty live at Cary: this was also the debut concert of her son Rishit Desikan! Was glad to be present for this special moment.

I also got to experience my second #michelinstar restaurant at Milan! Verso Capitaneo carries 2 Michelin 🌟🌟 and takes a creative approach to Mediterranean food. It was a delight to also be able to experience the plating process up close!
