Hello! I'm a new follower always looking to read writers of colour, people like me, on Substack. Thank you for this essay, what moved and touched me the most in your honesty and vulnerability- bravo! And secondly, I love your way of story-telling!! More please. Xx
This one broke and mended a part of my heart. Dec Anand may just be the motivational icon writers, like you and me, haunted by our fears and doubts, need. Thank you for this post. Saving it for reading again and again.
Karthik.. absolutely brilliant! I'm in complete awe of this essay and all the terrains it walks through to bring itself home. I love this scenic route ...seldom easy, always beautiful. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous stuff
Lovely essay, Karthik! So much to think about. In talking about your fears of writing you've touched upon the fears of many of us, I suspect. Thanks for talking about it with courage and through the example of Dev Anand's failures.
So good, Karthik! It has such an easy flow, lovely anecdotes, and your trademark thoughtful introspection. Reading your essays feels like hearing you thinking aloud and its delightful. Really enjoyed reading this!
