I am currently doing my PhD in Australia. I write, partly as an occupational hazard and also out of passion. When I am not writing, I’m generally sketching in art books, binge-watching thrillers on Netflix, or admiring George Orwell!

When I first considered writing newsletters regularly, I thought of several ideas centred on fuzziness, margins, note-taking, imperfection, and disorder. Like its name, fuzzy notes aim to contribute to ideas' fuzziness — in their raw form, as one reads them in essays and books.

In this newsletter, I will post excerpts of articles and essays I may have read, enjoyed, and deemed worth sharing. Its approach will be deeply personal, allowing readers like yourselves to think.

Fuzzy Notes is not an everyday newsletter—it doesn’t aim to be. It will be a curated collection of essay excerpts catering to your intellectual and other desires. I have been greatly inspired by writers such as George Orwell and thought curators like Maria Popova’s The Marginalian.

This substack newsletter draws inspiration from ways of living and a good life. I am a student of politics, and some of the articles will inevitably point readers toward political philosophy enthusiasts. But this newsletter is much more than that. I write about politics, philosophy, culture, and society.

At its core, fuzzy notes aim to allow the reader to read for the joy of it.
