@nusratjafri Congratulations, Nusrat!

[Saba Nehal @Saba__Nehal]

Took a peek at the new Mariana Enriquez ARC. “A Sunny Place for Shady People” comes out this September and I can’t wait to dive in! @GrantaBooks @PenguinIndia

Heres a gorgeous evocative image of a woman not reading but writing. The cover of Shama, a massively successful Urdu periodical with circulation figures far surpassing any others. Also one of those archival regrets - a magazine I wish I could have worked on!

My team @PenguinIndia is hiring!

This #DalitHistoryMonth pre-order a copy of @nusratjafri’s evocative memoir. When it first landed in my inbox, thanks to @SmitaKhanna3, I remember reading it in one go & being stunned by its sheer radiance. I promise you, too, will fall in love with it.

@deepblueruin Premise for a new story? 😊

Found myself feeling as giddy as a kid among an astounding number of books at the Penguin warehouse

If you always thought #Urdu was the language of North India, you've missed out on hundreds of poets, satirists, biographers, lyricists and educators—all women, writing in Urdu in Hyderabad.

Read @Nazia_Akhtar27's essay on Urdu's lesser known writers.

Happy publication day to Fool Me Twice! @nona_uppal’s emotional roller coaster of a debut which I had the pleasure of editing. ✨

[The Third Eye @thirdeyeportal]

26 years after its publication, Anjana Appachana’s Listening Now is out with a stunning new cover. Enchanting from the very first page!

[Ramachandra Guha @Ram_Guha]

The brilliant bilingual historian A. R. Venkatachalapathy has written many fine books, but this may be his most important work yet. It is a compelling dual biography, of a visionary and remarkably courageous nationalist and the swadeshi shipping company he founded.

In 1906, Britain's grip on the world was unassailable. Its navy ruled the seas, its trade empire spanned the globe. But in the small port town of Tuticorin, a lawyer had a revolutionary idea that would challenge the might of the empire itself. Out this month from @ARV_Chalapathy.

[Saba Nehal @Saba__Nehal]

Is that a barbet outside my balcony?

[Saba Nehal @Saba__Nehal]

Happy, contemplative, tender, and haunting perhaps? Excited about these new additions to my TBR! @PenguinIndia

[Penguin India @PenguinIndia]

No better feeling than walking into the Penguin office!
