Migration

Hey everyone,

I am writing this edition to inform that I have migrated completely to Substack. I was using Medium as an aux-platform because Melon Rusk suppressed the reach of Substack links on Twitter. Now that I have got myself a custom domain, that problem seems to have gone (for now). Either way, instead of importing the follower-list and forcing you to read my ramblings, I’ll leave the choice of subscription to you.

Here’s my Substack. A recap of the last few weeks

• This Sunday, I published this. It’s a bit sad when tall buildings crumble to dust. It’s sadder when you’ve seen a tall building stand proud like a monolith on the horizon, towering over everything else. And it’s very, very funny when you’ve been one of the residents from the rest of the city, watching billionaires arrive in Lamborghinis and sip martinis inside their penthouse mansions. It’s an essay on the fall of one such institution.
• Last week, I published this. Virat Kohli retiring from Test cricket came as a bit of a surprise, but it gave me a chance to celebrate the man who infused the India badge with chutzpah and fire.
• I published two articles that had less to do with sport and a little more to do with the air we were breathing for the two and a bit weeks starting from 22nd April, 2025. You can find them here and here. For these two, I have leaned a bit on my mood, and written with a lot of caution, because I know very little about war, and even lesser about diplomacy or foreign relations.

See you on the orange site. The only orange site I’ll probably ever invite you to.
