I am a voracious reader and every week I come across either a book, online piece or website I want to share with others. I’ve decided to curate these gems and highlight them on Friday. I hope you find these faves as insightful as I do.
- What are the best podcasts so far in 2017?
- Have you seen the pictures of the dad who photoshops his daughter into dangerous situations? The visuals will put an immediate smile on your face.
- Why does your brain hate other people?
- How do you find out your peak productivity time?
- Bonus faves and shameless self-promotion. These are a few of my pieces published in the last two weeks: How to Order Like a Gujarati in Phoenix (Phoenix New Times), Writerly Roundup (Literary Mama), and The Difference Between Norms and Laws in the Current Administration (DAME).
What were some of your favorite reads this week?
Welcome! I am a lawyer turned freelance writer, essayist, and editor. On staff at Literary Mama and the co-founder and co-editor of the literary journal, The Sunlight Press, my essays and reported work have appeared in The Washington Post, The Lily, Saveur, Civil Eats, Brain, Child, ESPN and elsewhere. I am currently at work on a memoir on grief and culture and how it provides perspective on life’s ordinary graces. I invite you to appreciate the ordinary with me. I hope my daily practice of seeing the magic in the mundane helps you celebrate and find more of these moments in your life too.
I love your Friday Faves. It feeds the voracious reader in me.
Glad you enjoy them, Noan. I love curating these links. I learn about something new and engaging every single week. Have a good holiday weekend!
Congrats on your great pieces, Rudri!!! You really piqued my interest with some of the others, too–I hadn’t seen any of them. Question on the food piece: is that Asiana market as big as it looks on their site? And do you have any idea if there are certain Gujarati dishes that are likely to be gluten free or if the restaurants would know what is gluten free? Obviously not the bread :(.
Really loved your piece in DAME!
I absolutely love to read about podcasts. And the photoshopping father made me smile. I wish I had those kinds of skills!
Great piece on DAME! Congrats!
