this weekend i am:

living it up in kolkata at priyanka and deboo’s wedding! and running my 5k on saturday morning with deboo in honour of the kids of st jude.

interesting things from around the interwebs:

gomowgli’s guide to hampi. there are some great recommendations in there, especially for first-time visitors.

what your favourite memphis bar says about you. i want to know more about this slide at slider inn.

and just because memphis is awesome, 17 things you didn’t know about beale street.

this girl’s house-hunting nightmare in bangalore makes me so glad i found a nice house in a safe neighbourhood with landlords who were actively looking for single women to take the house. i know how rare that is in bangalore, and i am thankful for it every day.

would love to do one of raconteur’s walking tours the next time i’m in bombay.

if you’ve still not signed up for theskimm‘s daily news blast, here’s your chance!

the most powerful photos in sports history.

longreads’ no. 1 story picks from 2015. i just read the first one from the list, and it was fantastic.

an interesting infographic about the day jobs that inspired famous authors. [thanks to robert for sharing!]

the last message received. but be warned, it’s a bit of a rabbit hole.

and finally, margo included one of my photos in her latest instagram reader submission post! it’s very cool to see my photo amongst so many other awesome market shots from around the world.

in case you missed it:

the things i am thankful for this year.

note: i will be out of town next week to celebrate priyanka and deboo’s wedding, but i’ve got a few posts queued up. hope you enjoy!
