Recent Projects

  • Climate Primer“Like refugees leaving a place, we are leaving a time.” – says Rebecca Solnit in her essay ‘Sky Full of Forests’. Suggest reading it on its own. This attached document weaves through and synthesises some of my other preoccupations, around Climate Change, Another way of living, Sen’s Development as Freedom, Meadows’ Leverage points and Ghosh’s notes on the Great Derangement. Part primer, part a questioning of the times we are in and part exploration of the way forward. 
  • Literature Atlas An attempt to chart the world history across time and geography through literary works of different periods. Each book, a portal to the world of a different time and place.
  • Literature as philosophy of lifeA curriculum for a reader interested in literature as a channel through which wisdom of ages passes on.
  • Riemann Optimization: An exploration of optimisation through Riemannian manifolds and the mathematics of curved space.
