About

Welcome to a blog where it's okay to be a little chaotic, curious, and caffeinated.

This and That Stories is a digital scrapbook celebrating the absurd, heartwarming, and nostalgic moments of everyday life. From office oddities to 90s childhood memories, from the quirks of living abroad to the joys of robot vacuum companionship—each story is a little slice of real life, served with humor and heart.

The Storyteller

Hi, I'm Nishanth S Coontoor. I'm just someone who notices things—the weird things, the funny things, the things that make you go "oh, that's just me then?" (Spoiler: it's never just you.)

After years of collecting stories in notebooks, group chats, and rambling voice memos to friends at 2 AM, I decided to put them somewhere more permanent.

What You'll Find Here

• Life: The absurd and heartwarming moments of everyday existence.
• Living Abroad: Tales from expat life, cultural misunderstandings, and being slightly lost in translation.
• Work: Corporate chaos, cubicle chronicles, and the absurdity of professional life.
• Nostalgia: Remember when? 90s memories, childhood stories, and things that made us who we are.
