@poisonedpen Thank you Barbara for your lovely energy and personality. You are the best friend a writer can have. Lucky me, your ship got grounded on a sandbank in Myanmar and all you had to pass your time was a copy of Teatime for the Firefly and the cappuccino machine. 😃 What a story!

[Shona Patel @writershona]

@kevinbacon Happy anniversary and much love to you Kevin & Kyra. You guys rock! Please come and have dinner with me when Covid is gone ❤️

@AruniKashyap Also the whole chicken! The chewy bones are the best! Nothing like chicken curry and rice. I like the old style railway or dak bungalow chicken curry the best! Mustard oil! Very thin “jhol”!

@mattgaetz Please guys, hear this interview before you make your judgement. Put yourself in this man’s shoes. Does this make you think differently? https://t.co/0CirHTw9z7

[Shona Patel @writershona]

@StephenKing Yes! Can you spot the thing of evil who ate up all my bulbs? I am so angry😡

[Shona Patel @writershona]

@AruniKashyap Good choice! Bagun Bhaja is good too but I think I prefer alu bhaja. Don’t forget the ghee and a little pickle 😊

[Shona Patel @writershona]

@AruniKashyap Looks delicious! Did you put kala jeera in the batter?

[Shona Patel @writershona]

@TIME Man, the more I hear this guy, the more I like him. Very grounded!

Sometimes all it takes is a quiet walk in the woods to see hope. Everything is constantly growing, changing, renewing. Nothing stays the same.

This photo was taken by an ER nurse in Morristown, NJ and I just can’t.

@MichelleHffmn Hubby gave me a haircut today. Now I need a wig😬

[Shona Patel @writershona]

@AruniKashyap What about baigan/begoon or guinea squash? All same. Funny I was just writing about this 😊

@TIME He just unraveled in the most cringeworthy way! Holy shit!

Just finished Teatime for the Firefly by Shona Patel (⁦@writershona⁩) and the courage and integrity of its characters in their beautifully realised world took me by complete surprise. I loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://t.co/JCYmiliwqC
