Hello and welcome! I’m Sindhu Shivaprasad, a writer and creative technologist living in India and shaped by the many countries I’ve lived in and travelled to.
Small Hours is where I unpack the joys and tribulations of crafting an intellectually and creatively rich life for myself. Some recurring themes you might find across my essays: agency, writing, the act of creation, design, cultural change, technology, and whatever else is the ‘flavour of the month’ in the current season of my lifr.
My writing draws from books, travel, and a deliberately interdisciplinary background: between undergrad and postgrad, I’ve studied journalism, English literature, sociology, psychology, philosophy, print design, and economics.
I also write creative non-fiction and research essays for other independent publications, and run a culture magazine called Patina.
