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
"...I don’t think there is anybody out there in Tamil Nadu going crazy about my stories exactly!"
A candid interview with the stalwart Tamil fiction writer Ambai, for #citiesinfiction by @divyarrs
In this #citiesinfiction interview CS Lakshmi (Ambai) tells us about the cities she's lived in, literary journal scene of 70s Tamil Nadu and the novel that inspired her nom de plume. I LOVE her books. Hope with this interview you find her work too.

Superb piece on #CitiesinFiction by @antarabaruah__
"Fiction, short stories and poetry have the power to accommodate students, to make them feel seen... On a pedagogical level, it can make curriculums more dynamic, inclusive, and experimental,” @BilingualWindow
Look for Amitav Ghosh, Rohinton Mistry novels not just on bookshelves, but on a map now

This kind of reading, this kind of spirit. This is why my magazine thebilingualwindow.co.in exists. Embrace literature in ALL the languages you have access to as a reader. Embrace these multiplicities 🌺
I am reading 'Ret Samadhi' and 'Tomb of Sand' at the same time. Congratulations @shreedaisy , #GeetanjaliShree
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.
