In Short
Hi, I am Anugrah. I write Delights of the Ordinary for us who are trapped in the world of hustle culture but are quiet at heart with an itching creative bone. This newsletter is fresh as a whiff of cologne and intersects you with life, culture, art and our practical 9-5 job space. If you know even one person who will benefit from reading Delights of the Ordinary, feel free to share so they can subscribe too.
In the Details of Things
What is the Delights of the Ordinary?
This newsletter is for any professional who is also a creative and thinks beyond spreadsheets; who is grappling with the vagaries of the hustle culture, mental health, and social trappings.
In Delights of the Ordinary, through the lens of culture, faith, history, poetry, art and wonder I talk to you about cultivating delightful attention in our everyday lives and finding creative ways to make our work culture better. We talk about life in its broadband echoes, in its full-scale dimensions.
Consider me, also as your online curator, where I delight in sharing with you some creative endeavours around the globe, some will be soothing, and some will be challenging, some happy, some thoughtful creative things or people doing some awesome stuff on the internet.
But I promise here we are meeting every weekend afternoon with a cup of tea or coffee so we can filter out many unnecessaries in our lives and find the direction we ought to find, taking ‘simple to hear but difficult to do’ stuff and ponder on it.
A bit more about who I am?
My name is Anugrah and I graduated in Food and Nutrition to become a Clinical Dietitian. I did become one. Yet I am a creative too. Much later in my life, A small voice continued to call me to write. Hence, I studied Creative Writing from the British Council to become one.

As of now, Delight of the Ordinary is a year-long project. Thank you for reading this far. It is currently a free publication. Yet it takes me many hours of effort to write and curate it. I may need lots of coffee to keep me going.
