Notebooks

"I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind. At these times, I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one’s mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one’s leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form."—Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

A collection of notes and annotated bibliographies, inspired by Cosma Shalizi's notebooks. Some entries are detailed, others just placeholders. The aim is to keep track of ideas I’ve explored or hope to explore and online resources that I've found useful. As these notes are mostly for my own use, they contain gaps (and few mistakes). If you spot one, please let me know: arghya.d@srmap.edu.in
