@MeiyangChang@MiraPagliNair Still waters run deep. It's of course a gem of a story, but it's also Mira's finest film, catching the undercurrents in a quiet, Ray-esque mode. Irfan is beyond brilliant as Ashoke Ganguly, so authentic in the skin of the character, bringing a lump to the throat ever so often
Revisited “The Namesake” and my heart is so full with the warmth & innate Bengaliness of it all. Can I hug you & stay in that embrace forever Irrfan, Tabu? 🥹 Oh what a beautiful, beautiful story @MiraPagliNair#JhumpaLahiri
Guha's departure fills me with immense grief. His chapter "Chandra's Death" was pivotal to my historical trajectory, directly influencing how I write bottom-up histories from a 'subaltern' view. The world has lost one of the greatest historians. He will be missed, intensely.
RIP Ranajit Guha, a giant among historians. My debt to him is immeasurable, as a writer and a friend. In 1999 he spent Thanksgiving with us; here he's on the far right, and his wife Mechthild is on the left. Between them is another great scholar & thinker, Gananath Obeyesekere.
Lovely, relaxing, gossipy afternoon spent with these two wonderful people at one of the best Thai restaurants in New York City - Sripraphai Thai in Woodside, Queens. #ShubhashishBhutani and @rajshriartist.
Muslims are under attack for offering namaz in public, keeping beards, or simply for being Muslims
But in a Mumbai train, Hindu commuters keep space for fasting Muslims & make secret contributions for iftar.

Thank you for your messages, letters and emails about the deeply painful loss of my brilliant, kind and wonderful husband @PatrickFrench. My family's deepest thanks to the tireless, compassionate and dedicated doctors and nurses in India and the UK who looked after Patrick, and…
Many years ago, I chanced up Andrew's stunning film - Tashi and the Monk. The film introduced me to the work of Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community, a tiny home for children set in the remote hills of Arunachal Pradesh, a garden of love and compassion nurtured by a monk.
For me, it doesn't get better than Fazal Hussain as Ramchand in Ramchand Pakistani (directed by @mehreenjabbar). The angst, innocence, helplessness all conveyed effortlessly. I have no idea how an eight-nine year old kid was able to give such an impactful and moving performance!
