Hello there!
No I haven't given up writing the newsletter already. I just have been a bad planner. And now it's showing. To all those(nobody) upset over the no-show of Hyperlink over the past 3 weeks, I am sorry! Hopefully this one will make up for it. If someone has forwarded this to you and you liked it, subscribe by clicking here! I am Jay and I will be sharing the what's what from everywhere.
If you found this email lying in your spam inbox or, even worse, drowned under your other promotion mails, you can do either of the two things: Add this email address as a contact or if you’re using Gmail, Drag this email into your ‘Primary’ Inbox.
I am writing this on Notion which is currently running on a Mac running Big Sur. I have been waiting quite desperately to see Big Sur in action. And so far, it's not been that bad. Probably I'll write about it after using it for 2-3 weeks.

Ever since I've been in Bombay, I have gotten the opportunity to observe the immediate surroundings of the neighbourhood I grew up in — the places of childhood which I suddenly stopped going to after school. After getting into college, somehow outdoor activities with 'building friends' became unnecessary. Taking an evening walk post-dinner became a way of observing the very neighbourhood of which I knew every nook and corner. This weekend, if you're staying where you grew up, try taking a walk around where you used to play, where you used to hide while your friends would seek, or maybe even sit on that bench where you once did after done playing for the day.
Happy Diwa-links.
