Thinking Out Loud is a newsletter by me that is called Akarsh Hp. I am a filmmaker and a screenwriter in the Kannada film Industry. I have also authored three books - The Unknown Freedom in 2015, Love Me Like You Do in 2016, and God’s Lonely Men in 2021.

The existence of the newsletter is the culmination of several questions including about the great depression, the not-so-great repression, and, of course, the need to express vulnerability. It will not be as sad as my life. I will try to dig deep into the culture and find happiness for you.

The plan is to write one post every week. Sometimes two posts. If the week is going bad, expect three. If it’s going extremely bad, you might not hear from me at all.

Subscribe to the newsletter as I try to take you on a journey of digging into some stories since 1996.
