Cat mom. Love running and reading. More about me here https://apurbakundu.notion.site/apurbakundu/Hallo-I-m-Apurba-7eaee4d8937
Whenever I make it to a U Bahn after it beeps to close the doors, I am quite disappointed that there's no applause!

My bougainvillea is growing in a friend's house in Chennai, and another friend said they would miss the Ramzan iftaar walks around Fraser town!

6 months in Berlin, it's been great so far , but sometimes I don't remember where I got the courage to leave everything behind for a fresh start!

It's lightly snowing, and the train is traversing through snow-covered fields. It's white as far as I can see. Running in Delhi cantt last year, everything was a blur... I couldn't picture what's next but I am here now. If this isn't nice, what is?

Dancing to Bollywood songs from my childhood in a Berlin pub wasn't in my 2025 Bingo card! What a night!

I'm so tired of it.

Neil Gaiman claiming autism.

Musk claiming autism.

Autism doesn't make you do terrible, terrible things.

Stop. Blaming. Autism.

Dark Horse takes seriously the allegations against Neil Gaiman and we are no longer publishing his works.

Confirming that the Anansi Boys comic series and collected volume have been cancelled.

Watching a movie about my namesake in the neighborhood is how I spent my Sundy evening! And I would've just run past this inconspicuous kino, but I'm glad I didn't.

This Vika also has a ginger cat and is DJ Vika!

Finished the evening with a beer, and I feel like a pig in paradise :)

There were AfD folks near Schonhauser Allee U Bahn station today. And little away, towards Vineta Str. U Bahn station, there were posters that this isn't 1933.
Only February will tell!

Watched All we imagine as light with German subtitles in a theater, probably I was the only person who didn't understand the Indian movie fully as most of it was in Malyalam!

I saw a Bengali movie in a movie theater in Berlin today. I never saw a Bengali movie in a theater in Bangalore. Now that's something!

New thread. The first book of the year is done. This is my least favorite of the three graphic autobiographies by Alison Bechdel. She's prolific!

Why do I keep losing things whenever I go swimming? Today was my umbrella. I knew the German word for it. That's the only bright side!

Someone just loves nicking stuff at the Prenzlauer Berg pool. :(

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

My haul from the neighborhood library for the holiday season! So good!

Why is it so warm today? And U8 is not stopping at Alex. What's going on, Berlin?

My first post here definitely has to be Tendril Theory, because when I made this in 2015 I had no idea how often it would be ripped off. Tell your friends and your enemies to tag me please 😂

My longest run since the Münster Marathon. In this weather! Who is this?!

Love discovering new shops around the nachbarshaft. Today's find was a comic book store, a jigsaw puzzle store, a place where I can paint my own ceramics, and a shop that looks like it is named after me!

Love the buskers at U8 Rosenthaler Platz on Friday nights:))

Running through all my favorite spots! What a year it has been. Also, just back from a run in the sun. Like Indira Nagar, I would know Mitte-PBerg like the back of hands! :)

Are you running the Berlin Marathon in 2025 and run near Mauer Park/P Berg? I would love to train together. Hit me up!
