field note 01
Exploring my own hometown
I am in New Delhi and trying to properly explore my own hometown again. I have not had the opportunity to do that in years, so the project right now is simple: go outside and stop treating familiar places like background noise.
Markets are the main route. I am trying to make my way through as many Delhi markets as possible, with museums, handicraft stores, local shops, and random detours filling in the gaps. It is part nostalgia, part field trip, part correction for all the years I was from here without really being here.

Errands, appointments, loose ends
There is also the less romantic side of being back: doctor appointments, paperwork, family logistics, and all the tiny tasks that accumulate when a life has been lived across places. Not beautiful, but very much part of the current season.

Matcha in a non-matcha city
The matcha addiction continues in a place where the culture mostly does not exist. This has made the search more dramatic than it deserves to be. Still, you should respect the grind.

People
I am meeting a lot of people every day and learning about different lines of work through ordinary conversations. Networking feels natural and easy in India. Unlike at a networking event, here it almost always means accidentally ending up in a useful conversation with someone who knows exactly the thing you were curious about.
