@Dr Jacob - I'm Arun, a curious stoic, currently working for a health tech startup. I have been a regular reader of the columns that you and Stanly Johny write for The Hindu. Glad to have found your Substack blog.

Reading this intro piece re-emphasized the importance of location for not just analyzing foreign affairs, but for almost anything in life. I would like to call your attention to this article by a VC partner / founder. While it talks more about life, crossroads 6 explains how the city one chooses to live in affects his life in more profound ways than one can imagine.

Your article helped me realize the nuanced ways in which New Delhi affects a Foreign Policy analyst's opinions and writings. It was a great peek into what influences your writing. Thanks for starting with this wonderful piece.

Looking forward to your articles every Monday!

Best,

Arun
