As one of those silly ones who do this without a job, I feel asking y'all to show the sisters some love. I don't know if any of these are on the 'Freedom' sale at Amazon, but, heck, they aren't expensive anyway.

Going to the @JaipurLitFest is now our annual pilgrimage to the origin of great ideas and literature festivals in this country, and a place where the Project kicked off our lifelong journey to get people to #ScrollLessReadMore. #jaipurliteraturefestival2025

The Jaipur Literature Festival is our annual pilgrimage that we simply don't miss. The OG Lit Fest. See you there!

This weekend, we listened to another delightful #SuitableConversation by @ASuitableAgency with @PushpeshPant and Swapna Liddle. They delved into the origins, the politics and the habits around food in the Indian subcontinent amid birdsong under a canopy of trees.

Seeking submissions for The Bombay Literary Magazine. (Read past issues to get a sense of what works)

A difficult read, but this section below is what makes me want to redouble my efforts to encourage reading for pleasure. Reading does all this for me. And more.

We just can't allow this to happen in India. Not many kids are reading (or at least not as many as they should) and we need to take urgent steps to get more kids to read. For leisure.

Looking forward to being part of this. Come if you can. ⁦@ASuitableAgency⁩ ⁦@Harvard_Press⁩ ⁦@ranjithoskote⁩ ⁦@_sen_sharmila⁩
