This site is mainly a collection of my writings over the past 32 years. (I've been writing for longer than that, but this record of my digital life began at Princeton in 1986).
The easiest way to find something here is to use the search box. Type in a subject and chances are I've written about that at some point.
I appreciate feedback. Feel free to message me on twitter or email kanthan dot pillay at gmail dot com. If you find anything here to be useful, feel free to share it.

So when I see things like, "rags-to-riches", "self made man", "iconic brand", "triumphing against all odds", "crippling adversity", my eyes kind of glaze over.
Except it's occasionally true.
The stars looked down silently upon the scene. They had seen it before.
