Just once, I wish a university, any university, would give money to start a research centre on something that's not immediately attractive to funders. What about a research centre on friendship? A research series on daydreaming? PhD studentships on unfinished work?

Wistful for the pristine future day my armpits aren’t soaking wet while doing readings. This book is a lovely thing, though. Great writing in it by @milenaevening, @eisherwall, @aswin_av and others.

[Aswin @aswin_av]

@yopopodawn @milenaevening @eisherwall It looks gorgeous! Looking forward to reading it :)

Isn't it super annoying when people say Uber share/Ola pool? It's just me? Okay.

I feel this in my tummy

The egg is a timely reminder that this world is a ridiculously stupid place and any explanation anyone can offer for its ways will fall short. #EggRecord

@Emily_S_Cooper In all these spots you will find lakes and waterfalls, so no worries. For beaches, I recommend Calicut/Kannur if you are going Wayanad (these are in North Kerala) and Kollam (over the more popular Shanghumukham) beach if you are heading south towards Idukki/Alappuzha.

[Aswin @aswin_av]

@Emily_S_Cooper I'd recommend Wayanad/Idukki areas if you are looking for some time away from the cities. They are hill station-esque, but not quite as crowded as the more popular ones. Alappuzha is another very rural alternative and known for its houseboats and backwaters.

@supriyadhaliwal @Emily_S_Cooper Hi there, I may be able to help! I'm from Kerala.

Some of you out there may recall that in 2016 I played an excellent Christmas prank on my long-suffering Dad. It worked a treat.

@deapoirierbooks It was a dark and handsome young man, you have received this communication in the future.

[Ranjit Hoskote @ranjithoskote]

The real enemies of India are easy to identify. They are those who have made toxic hatred the basis of normality; instilled a victim complex in the majority; infused the minorities with chronic fear; and polarised our country with their manipulative tactics of "divide and fool".
