It has been awhile since I had a burrito/quesadilla at Burrito Boyz 🌯 in the GTA. Even more time has passed since my last Taco Tuesday at Taco Zocalo in NoVA. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽🇮🇳 So thank you California Burrito for the excellent Taco Tuesday deal & meal all the way on this side of the world!


The 1946-51 Telangana Rebellion, 1948 Police Action, & everything else that transpired after that...Anjana Meenakshi covered it all during a chat w/ her about my book "The Hyderabadis: From 1947 to the Present-Day" for TheNewsMinute! HarperCollins youtube.com/watch?v=FixKvn…

On Sat 14/6, Hyderabad Lit Fest & HarperCollins will inject Lashkar (Sec’bad’s old name) w/ a healthy dose of letters. I’ll be speaking to Dr. Vijay about my book “The Hyderabadis: From 1947 to the Present-Day” at Our Sacred Space. Copies will be on sale at OSS. See y’all there!


Thank you Syed Mohammed & The Hindu! Will be discussing the book & meeting readers at an Hyderabad Lit Fest in-person session on Saturday (14/6) at 6pm. Copies will be on sale at the Our Sacred Space venue, courtesy of #Hyderabad Lit Fest/HarperCollins. thehindu.com/news/national/…

Thank you Saaz Aggarwal for the excellent Q&A via Hindustan Times ! A lot is common between the independence/partition/integration experiences of our people — Sindhis and Hyderabadis. HarperCollins

Spoke to Saaz Aggarwal about my new HarperCollins-published book for Hindustan Times! The parallels between the partition-independence-integration stories of Sindhis & Hyderabadis are aplenty! Saaz's "Sindh: Stories of a Vanished Homeland" is a must read! hindustantimes.com/books/daneesh-…


Spoke to ETV Bharat's Kasmin Fernandes about my book prior to the upcoming in-person session (put together by Hyderabad Lit Fest & HarperCollins) in T minus 2 days. Looking forward to meet readers and discussing the book on Saturday (14/6) at Our Sacred Space! etvbharat.com/en/!lifestyle/…

Thanks Iqtibas اقتباس ! ان دنوں گرچہ دکن میں ہے بڑی قدرِ سخن کون جائے ذوق پر دلی کی گلیاں چھوڑ کر In dinon garche Deccan mein hai badi qadr-e-sukhan Kaun jaaye Zauq par Dilli ki galleeyaan chorh kar

Had a great chat w/ Prof. Vijay Tadakamalla, who asked some excellent questions, during an excellent in-person Hyderabad Lit Fest session at Our Sacred Space. Thank you to the HLF folks, Our Sacred Space, and attendees who came out as well as bought copies. HarperCollins


Bought this HarperCollins-published gem a few months ago after someone highly recommended it. Hoping to read “House of Awadh” soon as I’ve heard nothing but good things! Via Scroll.in Ipshita Mitra: amp.scroll.in/article/108316…

Had a blast speaking to The Hindu-Hyderabad Correspondent Syed Mohammed. We covered a lot of ground about my first book during our chat. “The Hyderabadis: From 1947 to the Present-Day” is available at various outlets from HarperCollins ! youtu.be/QZJy7kXVf14?si…

Had a great chat with Sibghat صبغت of the The Deccan Archive about my book “The Hyderabadis: From 1947 to the Present-Day” at Kohé. Here’s to hoping that the Deccan (along with its people) also takes the centre stage during discourse about independence/partition. HarperCollins



Thank you Sherna Khambatta !
