[Rena Patel (she/her) @renapatelwrites]

Based on the Hindu goddess Sati and the outlawed ritual of widow-burning in India, this story follows a bride through her wedding ceremony and places the flame at the center of a marriage where she is expected to view her husband as God, to erase her desires, to endure silently

Indian cinema shaped my upbringing, and is in my DNA. My latest series is a nostalgia trip through 50 years of Bollywood history told by three generations of the industry’s biggest stars and icons. Here’s your first peek at THE ROMANTICS before it arrives Feb 14th on @netflix!

The Library of Congress says it worked with curators and Capitol Police to make Lizzo playing James Madison’s flute happen safely last night. This is Lizzo practicing at the library on Monday. The 1813 flute was gifted to Madison and later saved by Dolley Madison. Photo from LOC.

I can't believe my subway scribblings from 20 yrs ago will soon be a new @Netflix TV show, premiering a week from today. That's me, blinking back tears, gazing up at a giant Times Square billboard showing @arden_cho & the rest of this amazing #PartnerTrack cast! I ❤️ NY.
