I had been contemplating for a while on imagination as a critical tool in telling stories. My fragmented thoughts found an outlet on this Medium post. Give it a read? :)

This book has left me floored. What a stunning debut for a writer! Rarely have I seen a male author narrate his female characters with such deep sensitivity and precision. Unputdownable and uncomfortable in equal measure. Pick it up and read now.

Anyway, just want women around me to understand, you need to start aspiring towards financial independence with the exact same urgency society wants you to aspire towards marriage.

This is not 2011. It takes enormous courage and grit to hit Delhi streets and protest against this govt. More power to Gen Z, to CJP, to this moment. ✊🏽

Cannot recommend @bookswagon_in enough. I have ordered plenty from them, especially international publications. They take longer to ship but offer best prices, usually much lesser than amaz
Based on the orders placed over the last 3 years, @bookswagon_in should set up a writer's fund for me; 250 orders placed: always correct, always genuine. Packaging top-class. Amazon rips off on many internationally shipped books by hiking prices—Bookswagon being their seller.

Whenever you’re booking a flight to Navi Mumbai Airport, please add ₹2000 to your ticket price, to account for the cab.
What a mess! Insanely expensive cabs, even if you try to book Uber Go thinking it’s slightly cheap, they’re not available & wait time is 45 minutes 🫡

Hi @bookworm_Kris! Do you buy/take books from customers too? I'm decluttering my bookshelf and have a bunch of books to give. Would love to get some value or credit for it.

The theatre of the privileged: can’t cook, can’t clean, can’t manage kids, can’t drive, can’t walk the dog… and now apparently can’t carry shopping bags either.
The availability of cheap labor in India has created an entire class of adults without basic life skills.

In Lajpat, you can now pay ₹149/hr for someone to carry your bags, wait in food queues, walk you to the metro, find you a place to sit, and even set up a foldable chair.
interesting biz !!

How Karma comes back to bite you. At one time Andh Bhakts used to hate Italian women.

the whole #Melodi thing isn’t cute at all instead it’s embarrassing.a country dealing with multiple crises deserves seriousness from its leadership, not meme worthy optics from the head of the government
