Welcome. You’ve somehow landed here, which means either the algorithm finally worked in my favour, or you’re a lost soul who typed something unhinged into Google and this came up. Either way — congratulations. You’re in the right place.
Shreyalogy is, to put it very simply, a universe. And like any universe, it contains multitudes. Crimes. Food. Drama. History that somehow explains why we are all deeply broken. TV shows. Pageants. Corporate satire. The occasional emotional gut-punch disguised as a lifestyle post.
This is your map.
🔪 Crimes (Literary, I Promise)
This is my love language.
I don’t know what it says about me that my brain’s natural resting state is “but what if someone got poisoned though,” but here we are. I’ve covered some deeply disturbing, profoundly fascinating, and occasionally hilarious criminal history — and I stand by every word.
We started with Japan’s Paraquat Murders of 1985 — a case involving tampered vending machine drinks that killed multiple people and has never been solved. If that sentence didn’t make you immediately click that link, I don’t know what to do with you.
Then there’s my personal favourite chaos-dump: April Born Legends… or Villains? — a completely unhinged but deeply researched look at dictators, serial killers, and general disasters who were born in April. I was also born in April. This article is, essentially, self-awareness in written form.
I’ve also gone deep on Saddam Hussein — not the sanitised version where he’s just the villain of a history textbook, but the actual psychological breakdown of how a traumatised child becomes a dictator. It’s uncomfortable. It’s supposed to be.
And if you want your brain properly scrambled, there’s always The Dancing Plague of 1518 — when people in Strasbourg literally danced themselves to death and nobody could explain it. Science still argues about it. I have opinions.
🍛 Recipes (The Part Where I Pretend to Be Domestic)
Here’s the thing about me and food: I deeply, aggressively care about it. Not in a “I went to culinary school” way. In a “this dish has the power to fix my entire week” way.
The crown jewel is Gatta Curry — a traditional Rajasthani besan dumpling curry that I would genuinely defend in a court of law. I wrote about it like it was a person. Because it deserves that.
For the girlies who want to eat well but also can’t be bothered: The Lazy Girl’s 5-Minute Weight Loss Yogurt Bowl exists and it is exactly what it sounds like — fast, actually healthy, and requires zero personality to make.
If you’re in a warmer season and need something that isn’t another glass of water: 12 Refreshing Drinks Perfect for March covers everything from aam panna to matcha latte to jaljeera — basically a full Indian summer in liquid form. And Fresh Recipes to Try in March has the food-side of that equation sorted.
🎬 Entertainment, Reviews & Pageants (My Other Crime Scenes)
I watch things. I have thoughts. I share them. You’re welcome and/or I’m sorry.
Web Series:
I did a full two-part review of Criminal Justice — starting with Season 1, which I rated 7/10 (with a caveat that skipping the early episodes gets you to a 9), and then Season 2: Behind Closed Doors, which I knew the ending of from minute one and watched anyway. Both are worth your time. Pankaj Tripathi is worth your time. That man is a national treasure and I will die on this hill.
I also reviewed Dhurandhar: The Revenge — Ranveer Singh, Aditya Dhar, and the kind of energy that makes you forget you’re sitting on a couch. It’s less a sequel and more the second half of a very long, very intense sentence.
And then there’s Kim’s Convenience — I was a few years late but I gave every single character an honest breakdown and I have absolutely no regrets. Kimchee deserved the world. That’s all I’ll say here.
Pageants:
Yes, I’m a pageant psycho. A verified one. I obtained and compared the actual contracts of India’s two biggest national pageant organisations in Times vs Glamanand Pageant Contracts — analysing exclusivity clauses, termination fees, intellectual property rights, and which one is actually safer for contestants. It’s the most niche thing I’ve ever written. It got more traction than it had any right to. The people want what they want.
History that doubles as entertainment:
The 1904 Olympics is one of the most unhinged things I’ve ever researched — a marathon runner who was driven part of the way, a man who ran barefoot and ate apples from spectators, and a “race” so chaotic that the winner was disqualified. It’s sports history, technically. It’s also a disaster documentary in blog form.
And Humanity Was a Mistake is exactly what it sounds like — a collection of historical decisions so baffling they shouldn’t have made it past someone’s internal monologue, let alone into actual reality. The Great Emu War is in there. You need to read it.
The Rest of the Shreyaverse
There’s also corporate satire, personal essays, the Shreyalogy Dictionary series (where I redefine words with the honesty they deserved all along), and the occasional post about what it feels like to be a person with feelings in a world that’s a lot.
But those deserve their own article.
For now — welcome to Shreyalogy. You’re here. The cult is pleased.
And remember: the only legal way to kill someone is to write a book about it. Or a blog post. We’re flexible here.
