Life

I do a bunch of other stuff regularly outside philosophy.

I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years, Iyengar for 4 years–this has become a journey of self-understanding, grounding, and discovery. Check out the places and people that inspired me–The City Studio in St. Louis, Missouri and Yogasala in Hong Kong.

I also run and swim.

I have a big thing for novels, contemporary and classics. I am at the moment exploring novels written in English by authors from South, Middle, and West Asia. I welcome recommendation from this part of the world and anything else beyond!

I have a special thing for ancient civilisations, their lifestyle, art and history especially.

I’m also very into Oriental and Islamic arts.
