Reflections of a restless eccentric

A while ago, a bunch of friends and I started a blog on introversion:  The introvert's guide to life . That effort took off but eventually dwindled down, but I'm still keen to write more on this topic. I checked with my co-authors, and so are they, hence we are officially reviving this series.

This article touches upon several aspects in an anecdotal fashion: societal notions of beauty, workplace patriarchy, boundaries of acceptable workplace conversation and several other nuances. This was also the article that inspired my earlier post  On warped notions of beauty  as well as my take on Lutalica . Disclaimer: All credits and rights for...
