AK Srikanth, author and Director, and his podcast series titled 'Notes After Rain' - a collection of thoughts and musings on literature, art, cinema and solitude

I started Notes After Rain because I realised most of my thoughts seem to arrive at inconvenient hours, usually late at night, usually with a book nearby, and usually while pretending I’m absolutely not overthinking things again. The series is a collection of quiet reflections on books, creativity, solitude, art, and the small observations that tend to surface once life becomes quiet enough to notice them. There are no grand conclusions here, unfortunately. Just conversations, observations, occasional existential drift, and the comforting possibility that perhaps none of us are quite as alone in our thoughts as we imagine.
