About
I’m Kapil Arambam and this is my personal blog: In Pursuit of Freedom. This space brings together my interests in ideas, design, culture, media, and creative expression. I have always been drawn to the unusual, the unconventional, and the original, and that inclination is reflected in both the content and aesthetic of this blog. What you will find here is a collection of essays, reflections, designs, photographs, and experiments that explore the world from different angles.

Labels and Archive System

Additional tags and keywords may be assigned to individual posts, but every entry ultimately belongs to one of these three archival streams.
Here I Am
I write. I design. I blog.
These are not simply activities but enduring pursuits. Professionally, I serve as an Assistant Professor, teaching media studies and visual design to undergraduate students in Bengaluru. I was born and raised in Imphal, and my academic and creative work continues to be shaped by a fascination with communication, culture, ideas, and the possibilities of design.
