Dear readers. This email might reach you a week later due to the technical issue with my provider. Sorry!

Hello, dear readers! This is the first edition of what I hope will be a regular and (most importantly) exciting newsletter. Even though I have written for the past seven years as a journalist and editor, it’s almost a new experience for me — to be unguided and unconstrained by editorial policies, publishing schedule, and information overheating that consumes attention.

A journalist writes because he’s at least partly obliged to do so: and I’m now completely free. After being a part of a well-rehearsed chorus, I went solo. It excites me as much as it sparks anxiety.
