Madras Medley

धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः | Books | History | Travel | Technology | Civilization

Namaste!

My name is Abhishek Desikan, and I am from Chennai, India. I work as an Engineering Manager at Amazon.

I’ve loved reading and writing since I was young. Being a stickler for organization, I felt the need to collate all these writings in one spot, which gave birth to this website.

Why Madras Medley? I have a lot of fondness for my city Chennai, where I grew up, known as Madras back then. And I dabble in many things which interest me, and hence this site is a “medley” of my thoughts!

Over the years, I have published many articles on different platforms, like Blogspot, Medium, Goodreads, etc. I’ve also written a few articles for sports websites and Indic ones like Indica Today.

I hope you enjoy my points of view and am looking forward to connecting with my readers.
