The Wicked + The Divine

I love comics; since high school, I have been into comics around X-Men and Batman as popular properties, but also psych thrillers, philosophy-related, and other kinds of indie stories. I closely follow critiques, lettering stylistics, panel layouts, colouring, design choices, story collaborations, etc. I also get super inspired by the amazing journeys of authors like Ram V or Vita Ayala, very self-made people who found their popular character niches as well. I highlight one of the most memorable and highly rated of my all-time reads with a Muller-designed cover. This comic has a very fun premise from the drop and turns out in a wildly paced, deep exploration of characters. If you end up reading, Dio(nysus) is the one I vibe with the most!

I follow design and fashion choices/patterns/intricacies in architecture, clothes, and more. I appreciate creators in the field pointing out these details for the people outside the field, which makes it more accessible for everyone and social media a better place for me! This channel on Instagram is a new find that explores some very well-thought-out but rarely talked-about architectural feats in India, the image is an example of such a Burtalist architecture following library and archive.

The Substance

Non-supernatural horror has been my favourite genre. I love movies that make me think; they are relaxing. The Substance turned out to be the best for that this year. I paired that with It's What's Inside and a Chucky (movies and series) binge. A big sci-fi thriller series recommendation, which is super well made in the same vein, is Russian Doll. Natasha Lyonne has been mesmerising between this, But I'm a Cheerleader, and His Three Daughters!

From Two To Two Too

I am a fan of linguistic puzzles, both creating and solving them. This space is for highlighting an interesting puzzle that you can try and understand the vibe of, have fun!

I am currently into R&B, hyperpop, indie pop, hip-hop, etc. This album has taken over almost the entirety of 2024 for me! It has been a fascinating rollout in terms of creativity, both in collaborations and in design decisions. The idea of a follow-up album to the hit, which finds a reimagination of all the songs, was also brilliant to me! My headphones have either streamed Charli or Doja most of the year. By the way, I love Bharg, Ella Mai, and Shygirl's rise and hope for bigger!

Birdmani Prive

I am a very Twitter (not X) person. A good summary of my RTs would be witty, pretty, and niche. This bird is very slay in a very accurately pointed-out Armani Prive couture feathering.

Tanisha in Abu Dhabi!

Outside of academic news, I recently did a little trip with my sister and friends around Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We enjoyed strolling at the Louvre, cleansing auras at Aya, and Spinning the Cheese with Tom and Jerry at the Warner Bros.!
