Kalyanasundaram Kalimuthu

This blog is where I dump my brain. Like a suitcase that’s been zipped too long—thoughts spill out, wrinkled, awkward, and not always useful. No tips. No advice. No “live better” tricks. Just messy, raw thoughts—sometimes funny, sometimes not. Sometimes I don’t even get it. I don’t even want to call this writing. Real writers might take me to court. What I do is more like emotional spitting, random keyboard smashing, and letting my thoughts run wild like unsupervised toddlers in a grocery store—touching everything, breaking nothing important, but still making everyone uncomfortable. I do this because it helps me breathe. It’s like taking the trash out of my brain before the smell becomes permanent. It helps me talk to people without tripping over my own words. Writing clears the traffic jam in my head—horns, chaos, bad directions, all gone for a while. If you’re looking for deep lessons or motivation, you’re in the wrong place. I’m not your guide. I’m just a guy talking to himself in public and hoping someone finds it mildly interesting. This is the mess I call writing. Or not-writing. Whatever. Like a broken vending machine—it may not deliver what you asked for, but sometimes it still drops something weird and oddly perfect.

Kalyanasundaram Kalimuthu

I brew beer for a living, but I brew thoughts for the soul. Since 1997, I’ve learned that life is a lot like a fermentation tank—bubbly, messy, and full of surprises. I write about the real people I meet and the simple lessons I learn along the way.
