'I was so lost, and only really started to feel vaguely normal in my late twenties,' she added. 'I have always been trapped between worlds; I do not belong here, but also don't belong there.'
Sastry, 29, noted that she struggled to find her identity in the midst of having 'no friends' and 'a broken family'. Art was her 'guiding light' and made 'all the suffering worth it', she wrote.

Netflix's Dept. Q star Matthew Goode plays annoying, ‘amazing' cop in Edinburgh crime drama
Matthew Goode quite likes being a leading man. Advertisement He is the star of Dept. Q, based on the books by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen and set in the cold case division of an Edinburgh police station. From The Queen's Gambit producer Scott Frank, the nine-part miniseries, now streaming on Netflix, sees Goode playing a one-man combination of good cop/bad cop. While Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck is a brilliant investigator, he is equally successful at annoying people – grudging respect for his talent quickly turns into intense dislike. It is not that Goode has not been No 1 on the call sheet before, it is just that he did not enjoy it. Advertisement 'It's something I shied away from after the beginning of my career where I was there for a bit and then I had some sort of bad things … things weren't necessarily positive at that point, after that. And I just went, I just want to be, you know, not the lead any more,' he says.

'Beckham to be awarded knighthood by King Charles'
'Beckham to be awarded knighthood by King Charles' King Charles chats with David Beckham at the Chelsea Flower Show. Photo: AFP David Beckham will be awarded a knighthood by King Charles next week in recognition of his football career and his charity work, reports said on Friday. The former England football captain is set to be named in the King's Birthday Honours List, according to sources. Other sporting figures who have been awarded the title include Beckham's former manager at Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, and British tennis great Andy Murray. The Sun newspaper said he would take the title of "Sir" and his wife, Victoria, a former member of the Spice Girls pop group, will be known as Lady Beckham. Beckham played 115 times for England as well as for a list of high-profile clubs, including United and Real Madrid. He is currently the president and co-owner of the US team Inter Miami and co-owner of Salford City, who play in the fourth tier of English football. The 50-year-old, who has long been in the running for a knighthood, was appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2003 – a lower award in Britain's honours system. Victoria later received the same award for services to the fashion industry. David Beckham was last month named in Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential leaders in philanthropy. He is an official ambassador for The King's Foundation, supporting its education programmes and "efforts to ensure young people have a greater understanding of nature" and has been a Unicef goodwill ambassador since 2005.

Netflix K-drama Mercy for None review: So Ji-sub leads middling gangster revenge saga
2.5/5 stars Advertisement Lead cast: So Ji-sub, Heo Joon-ho, Gong Myung, Ahn Kil-kang Mercy for None, Netflix Korea's latest gritty genre original out of South Korea, is a show about a man who destroys himself to seek justice for his dead brother. It is also about fathers blinded by their love for their sons. But most of all it's a show about men beating the living hell out of each other. The man who does most of that beating is the hulking Nam Gi-hun, played by broad-shouldered bruiser So Ji-sub ( Doctor Lawyer ). Gi-hun used to be a top lieutenant in the Bongsan Gang, led by Gu Bong-san (Ahn Kil-kang, A Shop for Killers ), which is closely affiliated with the Joowon Gang, led by Lee Joo-woon (Heo Joon-ho, Buried Hearts ).
