Hello and welcome! Kindred Spirits is a newsletter about agency, meaning-making and living deliberately. I unpack the joys and tribulations of crafting an intellectually and creatively rich life for yourself. Roughly once every two weeks, I write essays about:

  • Applying ideas from literature, design, sociology, anthropology, and writing to everyday life

  • Becoming more attuned to your identity, taste, and creative sensibilities

  • Technology and cultural change through a humanistic lens

  • The philosophy and craft of writing

About me

I’m Sindhu, a writer and creative technologist living in India and shaped by the many countries I’ve lived in and travelled to. My writing draws from books, travel, heavy journalling, 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 outside of this newsletter, and run a culture magazine called Patina.

I rarely pose for photos but when I do, its usually on film and in front of plants (no, really)
