Hi, I’m Aruna.
I’m a PhD candidate in spectroscopy & physical chemistry, and an engineer by training. This blog is where all my curious tangents end up.

What you’ll find here
I write about:
- books I’m reading, and the ideas worth keeping from them
- systems & ideas I’m spiralling about, that I’m trying to turn into practice
If you like personalized, experience-based writing that’s thoughtful, practical, and…a little obsessive, you’re in the right place.
The newsletter
Once a week, I bundle the best insights from books, and ideas I can’t stop turning over into a newsletter you can read in under 3 minutes.

If you want to say hi, recommend me a book, or point me toward something worth thinking about, I’d love to hear from you.
