I’m Naresh. I was born in Chennai, I live in St. Louis, Missouri, and I spend my weeks on long roads, at the stove, with books, and with my wife and our daughter, Mahi.
Tim Urban once drew a whole life as a page of boxes, one for every week. Seeing mine laid out like that changed how I spend them. This blog is how I make them count, and how I keep them.
Stories from the road on foot and by bike, recipes, books and films, and the world as Mahi shows it to me. Some posts are long. Most are short.
Since 2013 I've welcomed every new year from a summit: up on New Year's Eve, a night under the stars, and the first sunrise of the year from the top.
