Of the 33 million people people displaced due to the floods in Pakistan, many are living In shanty towns, their only belongings; sacks of clothes. They are being forced to survive on 2-3 cups of tea a day. It's so painful to know that it hasn't even been a week & the world forgot
This summer I got to read two exceptional novels that explore the interpretations of home and the sense of belonging, even though strikingly different in style. @devislaskar's The Atlas of Reds and Blues blew me away with its lyrical yet searing prose. #WritingCommmunity #sfwc
In @LysleyTenorio 's “The Son of Good Fortune” good fortune eludes the teenaged protagonist living a non-descript American life in the prison of his undocumented status. #immigrants
I was drawn to the contrasts in the novel- Excel’s restricted perimeters with the endless bustle and mobility at SFO airport, Excel’s resigned acceptance with his mother Maxima’s street-fighting spirit, and the semblance of hope at the end (my review: goodreads.com/review/show/49…)

I'm so thrilled that FOUR LOST CITIES got a glowing review in the New York Times from @RussellShorto, whose work on cities I have long admired. nytimes.com/2021/02/25/books…
I am reading two recently published books based on the Struggle for Indian Independence: A Patient Assassin by @tweeter_anita & Splintered Waters: Tryst with Destiny by Amarjit Pannu #IndiaAt75 #IndependenceDay2022
I wish all Indians freedom of thought and expression & freedom to pursue their dreams. Thanks @DesiBooks for the Independence themed review call. Wishing #SalmanRushdie, the beloved author of Midnight’s Children, a speedy recovery. #IndependenceDay #IndiaAt75
