A Few Of Varun Duggirala's Favourite Things

This was a pandemic discovery for me and it’s become my daily driver to replace caffeine post 4pm (I’ve tried to cut down caffeine post 4 to improve the quality of my sleep in recent months). The kadha has an elegant punch that doesn’t just taste great but feels like an exfoliator for my throat which honestly suffers from “ why does this guy talk so much” issues. 

I’ve been going down the rabbit role of analogue watches in recent times and it started with me buying this reissue of a classic 70’s design by timex. It’s got a beautiful vintage yet cool vibe to it and that Pepsi dial is just ♥️.

I’m a few months away from turning 40 and I’ve consciously been looking at changing the products I’ve been using (I call it a personal care mid-life issue) and I came across this serum by Kiehls. It’s just the kind of lightweight serum I like and more than anything it leaves my face feeling awesome (did someone say awesome at 40!).

This is my favourite guilty pleasure. When I have that occasional (I mean regular) sweet craving this throwback to the pineapple cakes of my childhood always hits the right spot. 

I’m a scribbler and I need to carry a notebook with me at all times and this is the perfect size and texture for a scribble book (plus the dot grid on the cover is just classic). 

My beard is one of those things I’ve created a regime for across maintenance, care and the occasional indulgence. The King Gillette beard oil has been one of the best beard oils I’ve used in recent years. Light, not greasy and classic fragrance. 

I sampled these on a whim and now they’re a part of my daily nutritional fix. I also occasionally use the ashwagandha and apple cider vinegar gummies as well. Not a bad way to get some essentials into your system at all. 

I like my coffee in small doses of well made espresso and I love brewing it in different styles (espresso machine, Moka Pot, etc) … I also sample a lot of varieties of coffee to brew that perfect cup of coffee. The Dark Roast from Marvahulla estate by KC Roasters is just all kinds of amazing flavours in a lovely dark roast. 

Perfect old school salted lemonade for the summer and to mix with that dash (more than a dash) of tequila for a wind down on the weekend. 

March Tee makes the best t-shirts period. From the fit to the material to pretty much everything… it’s my (almost) daily go to. They also make great sleep t-shirts and pyjamas .
