Unpopular opinion: Despite how gorgeous Faqir Chand & Sons is, I'd like a bookstore where you don't have to make way for every second person while deciding which book(s) to buy.

My favourite fact about plagiarism is that the University of Oregon plagiarized its section on plagiarism in the student handbook from the section on plagiarism in Stanford's teaching-assistant handbook.

Hahaha! I wrote this sometime in September this year. I was annoyed at a spam mail inviting me to a coding competition. Someone (I'm assuming) from the organizing team just tweeted this!

Throwback to a college practice session- a Tarana in Raag Bhupali. Our music society in Venky composed this piece. It was inspired by a 'palta' sung by Pt Ajoy Chakraborty in 2018.
Counting my lucky stars that I got the chance to accompany these marvellous singers on the Tabla!

Today was a very significant day...
Ages 14-17, my Nani introduced me to Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, Thomas Hardy among others. Gave me her own copies to read.
Today, I returned the favour by introducing her to Rinkiya ke Papa.

Salmon pink! For the latest print of my book 'The Courtesan, the Mahatma & the Italian Brahmin' (
@WestlandBooks
) we decided to dramatically revise the cover design. The book is in stores this week: pick up a copy if you haven't read it yet, or to give someone a present 😊📚

I love the 'head nod' in Indian Classical Music! The main artist nods, asking the Tabla player to take a solo. The interlude unfolds, and once he concludes, the reins of the recital return to the main artist. Pure musical magic!

Simple versions of Rangi Saari Gulabi Chunariya with just harmonium and tabla accompaniment are far better than the dozens of lo-fi versions out there. They're so annoying.

These days, I don't set an alarm, and I wake up in the morning without it. I'm woken up every day by the sound of music in my head. Throughout last week, it was Norah Jones. Yesterday it was Bela Fleck's banjo, today it was Lata Mangeshkar. It's an incredible feeling!

Rereading this amazing (yet deeply flawed) classic.
I first read it as a very naive first year in college back in 2019. It's making me oddly nostalgic and emotional. I suppose all history students have a story to tell when it comes to this book!

I keep coming back to Faiz's Gulon Mein Rang Bhare again and again.
The melody in which it is set- Raag Jhinjhoti, makes the piece even more poignant.
Only Faiz could have written about longing and separation in such a beautiful way!
Uff!
