Dear reader,
We have made multiple attempts at maintaining a weekly cadence of sharing something with you but have failed to do so for an extended period of time. This had partly to do with the inconsistency of our publishing schedule and partly to the experiments we kept doing with different forms. Sunday Reader is an attempt to fix this.
Every Sunday morning (Indian Time) we’ll hit your inbox with a set of links you can spend your off-day with. It’ll have articles to read, art/photography to look at, and albums/playlists to listen to. This is issue is the first of many to come.
What we published
On literature: we re-published an old essay with voiceover added to it. It is about a few poems that explore the seemingly non-poetic theme of butcher shops. Click on the link here to read -
