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.
- An interesting perspective in the piece, If You Think Everyone Else Has More Friends, You’re Not Alone.
- If you are trying to institute a change in your exercise routine, perhaps you may want to read this article – These seven words changed my whole perspective on working out.
- Should we think of ourselves as constantly changing? Aeon offers food for thought in the piece, Change becomes you.
- I landed a byline in Saveur. I’d love it if you read my piece, Houston Gave Me Permission to Be Indian in Public.
What were 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.
The one about friends jumped out at me! I do think I have friends but they’re scattered. I don’t have a core group and I really haven’t since high school/college. I can’t wait to read! Have a great weekend!
Lovely, elogquent piece in Saveur, Rudri! Food is often so entwined with our memories.
Jackie,
Thank you so much. Yes, food takes us to unexpected places, even years after the experience. Glad the piece resonated with you.
