Rabbit Holes a commonplace book,kept in the open
About · who keeps this, and why

Hi, I’m Bhuvan.

Searching for new rabbit holes.

Hi, I’m Bhuvan and I like tumbling down weird and wonderful rabbit holes. I like knowing random things and I think there’s a certain joy in being a dilettante.

It’s not just me—everyone likes discovering new things, but for whatever reason, most people lose that ability to experience awe and wonder. It’s tempting to blame social media apps and smartphones for this pathology, but that’s too simplistic—they’re not the only reason people seem to have become incurious and, perhaps more tragically, okay with being so.

This blog is an attempt for me to continue slipping into weird rabbit holes and share them. The hope here is that whatever I share might trip fellow travelers on the internet and send them sliding down a rabbit hole.

The goal isn’t to be an expert on everything, but to maintain a sense of wonder about the world. Sometimes the most interesting insights come from wandering without a destination in mind.

Lastly, I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

Black belongs to the world: a source, a quotation, another person’s title. Red belongs to the collector: why I kept something, where I filed it, and the paths I offer deeper into the garden.
