My column in @HindustanTimes.The most important lesson I learn--when it floods, float. #Kaziranga floods every year. The animals don’t panic—they adapt. Rhinos swim. Elephants climb. Birds rise. It’s chaos and choreography all at once. @BNHSIndia @WWFINDIA #junglediaries.
#HTPremium ✨| Ten lessons I learned from Kaziranga, ✍🏻@ATehsin. An unforgettable safari in the magnificent national park in Assam offers up some insights and a few helpful lessons to live by.

Often, I just let myself be in the ancient currents, sinking in the moment; a vertebrate in suspension with a desire to dissolve in the womb-warm waters. @the_indian_expr.: The philosophy of wet feet. Snaps #AdityavikramMore #authorlife #travel #riverkali.

Spoke to Divya of the unique initiative #CitiesInFiction. My love for #Udaipur is native love. My grand folks loved it, so do I. My first #novel for adults #TheWitchInThePeepulTree-spread over 1 day of #makarsankranti-had to be based there. @kan_writersside @HarperCollinsIN.
After a short hiatus, we’re back with our #citiesinfiction author interviews! Thrilled to share our latest conversation with Arefa Tehsin —her excellent book 'Witch on the Peepul Tree' deserves attention and love. Read here: @ATehsin @BilingualWindow.

Glad it struck a cord with you @TheBeardedDr.
@ATehsin @IndianExpress Loved your article :) You're absolutely right that in the mad race for development, the biggest casualty has been our compassion. Wish things were different. But authors like you keep jolting us back to reality. Keep writing more :).

Insaniyat, that golden, nameless mix of #humanity, decency, empathy & shared fate. was in the muscle memory of our civilisation, our tehzeeb. Like the air we breathed. Free, vital, and taken for granted. Today, it seems, we’re all running out of breath. My #column @IndianExpress.

What if binoculars come out as you go into the bathroom to brush your teeth and take a shower or a pride of lionesses peeks at you as you start your day? My piece in @IndianExpress: #safari #humour #WildlifeConservation @HarperCollinsIN @PenguinIndia.

A beautifully illustrated #folktale collection from the sharp and spirited Namita Gokhale, who has an old-world charm to her, but is anything but old-fashioned. @PuffinBooks @PenguinIndia.
The loveliest, most joyous launch for The Whispering Mountains : Folktales from the Himalayas in Thimphu, Bhutan.
