Photographs, pages & people

Swagat,
in between.

Hi, I’m Swagat. I enjoy travelling, photographs, books, music, and a good conversation. This is a little space for all of that.

Have a look around
An amber-lit cup of black coffee and a glass of water on a wooden tray
Some things are worth slowing down for.

A few ways of paying attention

Look a little longer.

Places to wander. Little stories,
collected along the way.

Warm lights on the curved Statesman building beneath a deep blue evening sky
When the city begins to glow.
An evening street strung with warm lights, with cars waiting in line
A little longer before heading home.
Sunlight falling through green leaves and trailing roots around a tree trunk
Looking up, for a change.
A garden lamp glowing through a canopy of leaves at night
A small light in the leaves.
A golden cloud catching the last light, framed by dark trees
The last of the light.
A red sandstone dome and archway, seen through silhouetted leaves
An arch, a dome, a little shade.
A lit window and its reflection on a building corner at dusk, framed by a bare branch
A window catching the evening.

And a little music

Welcome to my jam.

I enjoy music and singing, too. There’s room here for informal jams and a good conversation.

Kaahe Mose

Original song by Garvit & Priyansh

Sung by me, recorded on my phone. Please give your inner music critic the day off.

People, above all

You don’t have to figure everything out alone.

I’m happy to look over a CV, practise the awkward interview questions, think through what to learn next, or just talk about where you’re headed. Sometimes, a candid conversation is a good place to start.

I do this for free, in whatever spare time I can find. Bring the half-formed questions too. You don’t need a five-year plan to say hello.

Talk it through on LinkedIn

Usually up for a good conversation

Pull up a chair.

A book that stayed with you, a song worth sharing,
a question you’re still untangling, or simply a hello.
No agenda needed. Conversations are allowed to wander.

Say hello on LinkedIn

Another part of the same person

Curiosity has
a day job, too.

Currently at Oracle, previously American Express. Over in the work room: data science, AI engineering, and the decisions behind a few projects.
