A Quick Update from Indialogue
Hi there, I’m Aman Thakker. Welcome to Indialogue, a newsletter analyzing the biggest policy developments in India. The aim of this newsletter is to provide you with quality analysis every week on what’s going on in India.
Thank you very much for subscribing. My writing, and this newsletter, benefits from your feedback, so please do not hesitate to send any suggestions, critiques, or ideas to aman@amanthakker.com.
A Quick Update from Indialogue
Hi everyone! First off, please let me apologize for the sporadic nature of this newsletter over the last two weeks or so. There is a reason for this.
Later this week, I will be relocating from Washington, D.C. to New Haven, CT. My significant other will be starting her MBA at Yale’s School of Management, and I am fortunate enough to keep working remotely from New Haven.
However, the process of this relocation - the goodbyes to friends, the upheaval of packing my belongings in boxes, and the need to ensure everything is set up on the other side of the move - has unfortunately taken an impact on this newsletter. The time I allocate each week to this newsletter has quickly been taken over by all of these other competing needs, and a half-packed apartment is, as any writer will tell you, not the perfect environment to get quality writing completed.
Therefore, rather than attempt and fail to get you a newsletter each week, or, worse, send a half-baked, phoned-in, and overall substandard version of this newsletter, I thought I would directly ask for your understanding if this newsletter remains a bit infrequent for the month of July.
This won’t mean there will be no editions of Indialogue this month. There will certainly be weeks where there is a major policy story, or weeks where writing this newsletter will be an escape from the stress and chaos of moving. However, in the trade-off between sending a newsletter for the sake of it, and sending a quality newsletter even if I have to miss a week or so, I feel I owe it to you, the readers, to prioiritize quality over consistency until I can get back to, hopefully, delivering both.
Indialogue is nothing without its readers, so thank you so much for keeping up with the newsletter, whether you signed up a year ago or a week ago, and for your understanding during this abnormal month. I promise we’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming soon.
In the meantime, if you are based in New Haven, or plan to visit at any time, please feel free to drop me a line. I’d love to meet up for a coffee and talk all things India.
Thanks again, and I look forward to sending my first edition of this newsletter from New Haven very soon.
