You strive to have a good heart. But what is a heart? Just a chunk of flesh that a dog can eat.

Completely baffled by @emirates customer experience in the last few days.

2 back to back flight delays that my aged parents took, followed by a complete lack of info on a bag they seem to have misplaced

A bag with my mothers medication, that we can’t get in a foreign country

Yes, yes, very monastic and privileged of you to find God in the silence, but can you find Him in the horrid deafening cacophony?

I am still haunted by René Char, who seriously decided to abandon everything, and everyone to become a poet because of a single line from Dante, “Remember, this day will never dawn again.”

1/ #CitiesInFiction now has a literary map. Every book in our list is pinned to the place it is set in. You can explore South Asian fiction as a geography — which cities have been written about, and which are still waiting. 👉 https://t.co/boiwIeOtW7

@HDFCBank_Cares Anay, you've stopped replying to me in my DM. Again I ask, is there an update to my problem? @HDFCBank_Cares @HDFC_Bank @payzaap

[Morten Høi Jensen @MortenHoiJensen]

Very sorry to hear of António Lobo Antunes’s passing. A genuine literary giant who refused to be silent about Portugal’s fascist and colonial history, and a novelist who pushed the boundaries of the form. Que descanse em paz.

Thinking of Bolaño.
