So, I’m into crypto currencies. Rather heavily. I’m perhaps reflecting on what has brought me to where I am today. This can have been unconscious or conscious behaviours and decisions or both. Irrespective, these would have been driven by motives, incentives, disincentives. Behavioural economics. A good framework to reflect on what has brought someone to … Continue reading Why am I now into cryptocurrencies?

You might have already guessed that I love fiction books most. So, I decided to try a new challenge, to get out of my comfort zone. Over the years there... Continue Reading →

I am thrilled to announce that I have signed a contract with NYU Press for my in-progress book, A Queer New York: Geographies of Lesbians, Dykes, and Queers, 1983-2008.
