अमरूद

Call me sifr, i live in Eastern India. i like reading science fiction and learning about insects and fungi. i work as an academic writer, and right now, i'm learning how to code very, very slowly.

i created this site in late 2024 to practice coding and as a place to station stray thoughts and scraps of information gathered from the world. The information found here will be poorly organised, the thoughts fragmented and incoherent, the code barely functional. And yet, it will persist.

So far, i've found myself using this space to think about the books i read, by writing about them. Consequently, this site is mostly composed of text, which has, thus far, largely been in English. Certain scraps have been rendered in Bengali, Hindi, or French, and this sporadic bilingualism will continue.

As of March '26, this site, which was once known as phenakistoskope, now goes by अमरूद, which is the Hindi/Urdu word for guava. Guavas are my favourite fruit, i prefer to eat them raw, tart, sprinkled with black salt, chili powder, and occasionally, কাসুন্দি. My other favourite fruits are জামরুল and কামরাঙা.

And by the way, the little gecko in the corner followed me home from Mycorrhiza's back alley spell shoppe. It lives here now, so watch your step, it tends to scurry about. Should you find yourself lost in some obscure corner of this site, follow the gecko, it will bring you right back to this page.
