@harnidhk I was told nobody would show up in lucknow. that the city’s too quiet, too slow, that audiences here don’t really turn out for books like this, that I should be prepared for disappointment. and then lucknow showed up. lucknow showed up in chikankari and notebooks and questions that genuinely made think ‘why didn’t i add this to my book????’. they stayed back after to talk about their mothers and sisters, about the friends they’d dragged along because they just knew she’d love it. i don’t think i’ve been to a city that listens the way this one listens. i’m a little undone by all of it. i’ll be back, probably soon, probably with a bigger suitcase hehe. thank you @masters_literature and @crosswordbookstores for being the best partners!!!
