After reading serious Nobel-prize-winning novel (which was great! but v serious) I was hoping to guilty-pleasure-read that Dungeon Crawler Carl book. But ugh, the ugly white dude rascism & misogyny just jumps out, dnf Ready to publish a fun woke Indian litRPG book, if anyone's got a manuscript

I am often struck by how much harder it is to write good fiction than it seems like it should be.

Who are your favourite Indian metal / punk bands and who has the best t-shirts?

OK, since everyone is posting takes, I will also post a take. I really wanted to like EW's Odyssey translation. Smash the patriarchy rah rah. I just thought it wasn't very good. I'm not a poetry guy, I only studied baby Greek, what do I know. But several things bugged me right off the bat. 🧵(1/5)

Somehow ended up down a rabbit hole of academic arachnology papers addressing questions like "Do spiders tie up their mates to prevent themselves from being cannibalized or are they just doing fun kinky stuff" link.springer.com/article/10.1... www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Recently learned from @svroad-yakshi.bsky.social about Naranath Branthan, a Malayali folk figure often compared to Sisyphus because he kept pushing a big boulder up a hill and letting it roll back down over and over again. The difference is, it wasn't a punishment; he did it for absurdist fun

A lot of Indian journalists reallllly need to take classes in how to create infographics. I keep seeing these charts about NEET, education, wealth disparity etc that just totally fail to communicate the intended point

My mad hope is that the momentum can push beyond local issues and bring some logic and reason to the rest of the world, too. Mira Nair's son is sitting in New York being called the moral leader of America. What else can young Indians do? Can cockroach become vishwaguru?
