Bhumika Anand and I spoke about both my novels, Stillborn Season and Of Mothers and Other Perishables. We also discussed memory, and what it means to reclaim the city of one's childhood. Marco Polo, intrepid traveller and teller of tales, slipped into our conversation.

Wonderful book discussion at the Bowring Institute, Bangalore. It isn't often that one encounters so much warmth, eloquence, and wit, all at once. But that's Bangalore on most evenings.

Delighted to be at the Bowring Institute on May 23, for a book talk in the club's iconic reading room. My warmest thanks to Baldip Kaur for this invitation. To Bangalore, then, with arms wide open.

Drop by if you're in Bangalore on May 25. @ChampacaBooks is all about friendship and grace, much like the city it's in.

Delighted that Of Mothers and Other Perishables has been shortlisted for the @AutherAwards. Honoured to be part of a diverse and inclusive list.

Here’s to the fallen ones, the barren ones, the silenced, the shell-shocked, the terrible ones, the ones who won’t flatter you or have lunch with you or sleep with you, the bereaved, the outraged, the bitches, the flabby ones, the unbearably honest ones...

Spring has arrived. The February issue of Mekong Review is here. Delighted to have an essay on Han Kang's visceral novels in the magazine. @MekongReview

I'm ending the year in an unexpectedly special way, with the students of Jadavpur University's Arts and Literary Society (JUALS). This will be an interactive and (hopefully) fun session. Do join in, if you're not partying too hard.

We examined the past and discovered that it was tethered to the present. We also discussed memory and the traumas that emerge from its depths. With @Parulsharma, @Kulpreetyadav, @ranbirsidhu and Ranbir Sidhu @BlrLitFest.

Looking forward to the Bangalore Literature Festival @BlrLitFest and to these promising conversations.
