Dear Reader,

Thank you for signing up :)

I have to say that starting this newsletter has given me joy and apprehension in equal measure. But now as I write to you, I imagine ‘A Tuesday Dispatch’ to be a small gathering of likeminded people in a well-used, softly lit room, and the thought comforts me.

I’ve spent many days trying to figure the tone of ‘A Tuesday Dispatch’, and I realised that it would read best when it is fluid— in a form that evolves naturally, like a good conversation. For this, I would like to encourage you to write back to me because you see, the secret point of this newsletter was to have an intimate space to present ideas and writing. I often feel that Instagram, despite its many benefits, is too fleeting. But as a newsletter, nestled within your inbox, I feel this conversation has the potential to be read, absorbed and in some cases even dissected.

And so, to begin with I will be sharing my promised list– a list of stuff that I've found relaxing over the course of September. September is strange, it's a neither here, nor there, kind of month and seems to inspire everything and nothing. It's definitely not the beginning, not even a good, honest middle and not entirely the end either. But it's quite essential as it gathers the mood of the previous months and begins to hint at a conclusion that will define the year.
