Personal

Off the clock

Arsenal, books, chess, board games, and traveling and eating with my wife, Apurba. I write about all of it, and anything else, on my blog.

Arsenal FC crest Soccer

Arsenal, always

I'm a big soccer fan and an Arsenal supporter. Come on you Gunners.

Books

Reading, and the lines worth keeping

I love reading, and I share highlights from what I read on Instagram. I rate every book on a scale of 10 to 15 out of 10, because every book is worth reading. Exactly one has ever earned a 16.

Fun fact: I met my wife, Apurba, through a book review.

Chess

Mostly watching

I love watching chess. I play too, though I'm not that good: 1200 Elo at my peak.

Travel

Places with a story

I love traveling with my wife, Apurba, especially to places with a lot of history. Some favorites so far:

Food

Eating well

Apurba and I love eating our way through new places, at home and on the road.

Board games

Game night

I love playing board games, from Wingspan and Terraforming Mars to Codenames and Coup.
