Hello 👋 I’m Ameya

Here lies a repository of stubborn ideas, half-formed questions, and fully formed obsessions—assembled under the pretence of clarity, but mostly to quiet my own mind.

Each essay begins as an innocent thought, usually mid-shower or during some other inconveniently unrecordable moment. It then metastasizes—fed by books, music, long walks, and the occasional bout of productive delusion—until it demands to be written.

The subjects vary. Creativity, cultural memory, the artistic process, the quiet absurdities of modern life. Some pieces are polite. Others bring snacks and stay too long. All are attempts to take something fleeting and pin it—gently—to the page.

If you enjoy long-form thinking, obscure references, or the nuance of someone trying very hard to make sense of things—welcome.

In solidarity,
Ameya
