Over the course of the lockdown, I've been taking notes as the women of @khabarlahariya have reported over fifty stories on the migration crisis unfolding on India's highways, cities and villages. Their observations and my analysis make up this fortnight's Sound, Fury & 4G long-form piece, which is online now for subscribers. (Subscription is very affordable and keeps the site going.

"The Silver Shoes," said the Good Witch, "have wonderful powers. And one of the most curious things about them is that they can carry you to any place in the world in three steps, and each step will be made in the wink of an eye. All you have to do is to knock the heels together three times and command the shoes to carry you wherever you wish to go." #oz #rubyslipperswerealie #iwanttogotothere

For the past three weeks of lockdown, the women of @khabarlahariya have been reporting from the ration lines and cook stoves of rural UP. My latest #SoundFury4G story explains why people are going hungry despite the government's efforts. Plus some resources for donation. Link in bio.

We use the word apocalypse, and these days frequently, to describe the end of the world. But its literal meaning, from ancient Greek, is “uncovering”. No one can say for sure whether Covid-19 is our omega, but there’s no doubt we’re living through a time of revelations, of the unseen becoming visible. | Read more about migration, labour and the rule of law in my conversation with Aravind Adiga about his new novel #Amnesty.

Insta Delhi Darshan #2 📸 No time to look through bookshelves so totally cheating by directing you to something I wrote last month, after chatting with @katyal.akhil about his new poetry collection illustrated by @vishwajyotighosh. I can't even share pics of the poems as I think someone (understandably) already made off with my copy. Mapping the city with words and images, giving voice to its every mood, from melancholia to hilarity - these are poems to love Delhi by. (Link in bio.)
