WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING
1.
Work was a mixed bag last week. I met the last milestone of a project I had been working on most of late summer and early autumn. Along with that I kickstarted a new lettering commission, and heard from a client who need some more last-minute changes to a project long-finished. That last interaction, while wholly pleasant, has me consider some new changes to my standard work contract.

Harshay is back from Goa after his residency at Atelier Monad, and he invited us to dinner at his place. It had been months since Amber and I spent any time with him and Purneetha together. Harshay showed us the photographs he exhibited at the end of his residency and I grabbed my copy of the zine he produced there. We also ate the first fresh water chestnuts and roasted peanuts of the season.

On Saturday, we returned to Dhoomimal Gallery, this time with Rishabh. I’ve enjoyed showing friends and family around the exhibition. Afterwards, we went for a bite to Cirrus 9, where Rishabh’s partner, Tarishi, joined us. Cirrus 9 has lovely views of the city, though they were all hidden due to the poor air quality. I hope to return when the skies are blue. I have pretty much been off alcohol this year, so I surprised myself by ordering a Moscow mule.

I made a compilation of photographs I included in my week notes this past year to commemorate fifty-two weeks of writing. This became the centrepiece of my first post on Bluesky. If you’re there, please say hi.
