“most love like / hunters and like / hunters most kill / what they desire” — Suheir Hammad famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/suheir_h…

dear artists (who suffer self-doubt when they see the work of other great artists), the knowledge of art should inform your lens of experiencing life, do not let it affect your perception of your own art. you are telling your story; you cannot tell theirs, nor they yours.

the corporate urge to write “jaa na” as reply to all work emails till Jan 1, 2024. 🤡

A friendly reminder that behind every list of achievements people post on social media to mark the end of their year, there is a bigger list of failures in the same fields that they hold back. 👀 You are doing just fine. Celebrate that! 🤍

Finished reading these beautiful books. Hindi Ka Namak is a collection of poems that are sardonic and political. Send Nudes, a collection of short stories about girlhood that are bold, original and at times, bizarre. Attachments and loneliness explored in a humane way.

it is wild to read A Room Of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf, literally in a room of one’s own and realising how female artists for centuries have been barred from pursuing the arts, denied basic rights. feeling both grateful and furious at the same time

Horrified to learn about what happened at the RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata. The more I read about it and similar cases, the more shocking it gets. Bas jo mehsoos hua hai wo hi bol diya hai. Shayad kam, shayad zyada. Because this is not the time to keep quiet.

Happy Independence Day 🇮🇳
