I often think of you Umar, of our days in college & university: submitting tutorials, shouting slogans, refusing to leave our public universities for lucrative offers abroad. And I too wonder how we have reached here.

Their kind and thoughtful mentorship was just what I needed as I wrote and revised this essay during my twin pregnancy and then a horrendous first year with 3 kids under 3. It’s a model of caring and attentive comradeship/scholarship I hope to emulate.

For me it has to be Isaac Asimov, with a Stephen King a close second.

@smaran Two other lit-historical scholars to consider- Rajeev Kinra and Sunil Sharma
