Had a glorious time at @ChampacaBooks where we were greeted by a beautiful dog, found a copy of my novel in the "Books by Bangalore Authors" cupboard, and picked up some lovely treats! It was great to see so many people chilling and reading together - 10/10 recommend!

A year of deepening autocracy in India: a half-empty Parliament, brazen injustice, more draconian laws, and attempts to weaken the power of the states. But there is a flag and a country to win back. For all. Much to hope for, and to fight for. See you in 2024.

Genuinely mean this - Mahreen is *the best* short story writer I've read. Cannot wait for Fall 2024 when her collection is published. Her writing is razor sharp and every single one of her remarkable stories has sliced through my heart.

My father died 34 years ago, which is why I was so moved to wake up to a msg from a friend who had set a reminder that it was his birthday today. Friends who remember important dates are so very precious - never let them go. Sharing an old essay of mine. aljazeera.com/features/2022/…

Solidarity to everyone on a very difficult day. No legal setback is forever. We’ll all need to study the judgment(s) very carefully, and find spaces in the interstices to rebuild, going forward.

This day, in 2020, my book, It's all in your head, M came out. A bunch of people read it, a few loved it, and a few others could resonate with it. While writing about my child sexual abuse, the toughest thing I had to reconcile with was that my parents would read about (cont)
