Welcome to Litsy!

My #bookhaul from the Jaipur Lit Festival in Adelaide today. So restrained. Jason the bookseller: ‘I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen you buy just one book before.‘ 🤦🏼‍♀️😉

Though it isn't explicitly stated, this is what Bombay is like today! People from a particular community choose to stay in the same areas. You have parts of the city that are identified only with people of a particular region or community. Freedom of movement isn't restricted though !! ( yet )

Terrifying. If the current situation in India was exaggerated to the hilt, this is where we would end up. Even now, my husband and I found it so difficult to rent a house in Bombay, because he's a non vegetarian and I have a Christian surname and minority religions are automatically viewed with suspicion.

My first attempt at spine poetry. #spinepoetry #24in48

Leila,
Do not say we having nothing.
The ministry of utmost happiness
(and) the liberation of Sita,
(happen in) no other world.

Holy shit this book gives Atwood a run for her money. Utterly terrifying. #24in48

Seriously, what is a readathon without cookies? #snacks #24in48
