I never use this forum for complaints, but since several scholars are facing this this out let me share just how ridiculous @FedExIndia and GOI requirements @PiyushGoyal for receiving books from abroad are becoming. This is crazy regulation in miniature. A publisher sent me a book. Notice arrives weeks later that book is being returned for incomplete KYC. 1/3

Superb piece on #CitiesinFiction by @antarabaruah__

After her novellas, Daura and Bhaunri, bilingual writer @anukrti_U delights the reader once again with her twin stories, this time two antiromance tales 'Habeas Corpus' and 'Ab Initio'. Head to @BilingualWindow and @bombaylitmag to read.
