Are private schools better than public? From a job applicant’s pov: private! They send you personalized rejections. Public schools send form rejections with words misspelled and you feel more sorry for the state of education than yourself! #publicschools
@mr_gusaroni@fullstopmag Thank you for this wonderful and piercing review! It’s such a rare occurrence that a critic totally gets what a writer has been working years to say!! 😊😊😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
"Suneja’s debut novel asks what it means to both belong to and resist categories of geography, religion, caste, and time."

Still out here talking about partitions, borders, and love across borders: its necessity, its impossibility. Thank you to @_preetysidhu and @ElectricLit for the conversation. "By loving each other, are we making the world a better place or not?"

I’m horrified to see the bombing of al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza and unequivocally condemn it. I urge the Israeli government to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and reiterate the call for a ceasefire. I am directing $300K to three charities helping Palestinian people under attack.
“The power of this novel…is that it shows how cruelly history treats individuals...House of Caravans is a triumph of realism—if you can bear it.” A deeply insightful and penetrating review of HOUSE OF CARAVANS. Thank you @dianegreco for your words!!! https://t.co/j4UjiinJFM

"What is the Partition now? It is a difficult legacy, it is memories of resentments, it’s the cause of border wars. It’s the othering of minority neighbors." @Shilpits recommends Partition narratives. https://t.co/Vgo0yjjas1
I put together this reading list on Partition for LitHub. The epic tragedy that killed 1 million people and uprooted 13 million takes years to understand and unpack. These books make it easier: https://t.co/1ijpdgIFyi
