Happy Birthday to my mentor, surrogate mother figure, my director, friend and iconic, original talent @deepamehtaofficial
As you can see I have morphed considerably over the years while Deepa embodies a masterclass in how to uncompromisingly be yourself. It’s taken me years to get there. To finally relax in myself and not hesitate to tell people to sod off – with a smile.
Love you Deepa ji.

You will look at me and it will remind you of being summed up.
They have summed you up because they are told this is what you do for a living.
But I’m asking who a job and place serves and why, and how those things came to be. What allows people to feel a sense of security and belonging where they live? Those are questions I’m asking in my writing life as well. In some ways, the writing is a way to process and imagine different lives. An entirely different aftermath.

Now reading: #EvilEye by Palestinian-American author @etafrum
Etaf’s debut novel #AWomanisNoMan was a NYT bestseller and this ‘moving meditation on motherhood’ and childhood traumas portends some rich story telling.
I enjoy narratives that probe intergenerational relationships and explore the impact on female bloodlines. It shows me I’m not alone in unravelling my personal history and sh**.
‘Yara’s carefully constructed world begins to implode and suddenly she must face up to the difficulties of her childhood, not fully realising how that will impact not just her own future, but that of her daughters too.’
The epigraph at the beginning of the book by Mahmoud Darwish hit me hard:
‘All roads lead to you, even those I took to forget you.’
Thank you @harpercollinsin @harpercollins for my copy. Review to follow.

I am more and more exhausted and disenchanted by public spaces – both real and virtual- and the constant call on our attention. Ironically, when I disconnect I feel a more urgent interconnection with the subtle magic of the world coupled with a renewed vigor to ‘go digging in my own soil’ for meaning.
@katherinemay_ is an alchemist of the highest order. Her latest, #Enchantment is the book your soul is crying out for. She begins by cataloguing in personal detail the all too familiar universal ways our lives have come unravelled: ‘Lately I can’t read a whole page of a book. It is frictionless, this sliding of attention. It’s as if some kind of lubrication has been applied to my choices. I intend to do one thing, but my unconscious shunts me discreetly away…If there were a spirit of this age it would look a lot like fear. For years now we’ve been running like rabbits. We glimpse a flash of a white tail, read the danger signal and run, flashing our own white tail behind us. It’s a chain reaction, a river of terror surging incoherently onwards, gathering up other wild, alert bodies who in turn signal their own danger. There is no one predator from which to escape; there are many. We are in the business of running now.’
But in the midst of collective despair and exhaustion, Katherine resurrects something so fundamental to our humanity, that the notion startles:
‘I have lost some fundamental part of my knowing, some elemental human feeling. I need a better way to walk through this life again. I want to be enchanted.
Enchantment is not only sparked by grand things. The awe-inspiring, the numinous, is all around us, all the time. It is transformed by our deliberate attention. It becomes valuable when we value it. The magic is of our own conjuring.’
I simply can’t recommend this balm for our times enough.
