New-ish (still shiny) newsletter will be here http://amritatripathi.ghost.io
Online bullying is such a real and present danger for our young people. A recent panel discussion on this raised some pertinent points -- but the real question is how to combat this rise in cyberbullying and how to bring back kindness!

No small questions on the #SayAgain podcast :) This week we have Kirsten Freeman, the COO of Aeon Media talking about 'how to live the good life' as well as the unique mission and vision behind @aeon.co and @psyche.co (one of my faves!) and also... GenAI, LLMs, the impact on publishing and more!

Also in the newsletter highlights, I had this fab conversation on the Say Again podcast with entrepreneur Shreyasi Singh!

Ok she's talking about 60 year careers, and while I go have a quiet heart attack, you can check out the full chat wherever you get your pods!

On an entirely different note, really enjoyed Tell me Everything by Elizabeth Strout. There's so much of the human experience (especially post-pandemic) wrapped up in there. #Booksky 💙 📚

New episode, new dose of Inspo on the Say Again podcast... I genuinely ended the convo wondering *what exactly am I doing with my life?

Firstly, on the book front - it's been an incredible journey, from literary festivals to book signings (and more this Friday, apparently, never mind if it's Valentine's Day lol)... a few reviews and links for those interested!

A new excerpt from my new novel is up on Scroll! Let me know what you think! 🙏 #BookSky📚

Faith vs superstition, losing people but finding yourself, the impact social media has on relationships with each other and ourselves... these are a few of my (favourite) themes.

Me: I'm so glad there was a reason to rest and recharge, step away from some projects (and recover from a minor health thing) and ... it's been the best gift of my life.

Also me: Let me see if I can't whip up a presentation and do a workshop and and an aaaah. pfffffbt

I love how proactively some of you have made these starter packs!

(But then I rem how sometimes we'd get added on to these targeted lists in that other place 😑... clearly some PTSD remains)

On this note...
The book cover and some details for my latest novel: The Other Sister ... If you're in Delhi we'd love to see you on Dec 2nd for the first (hopefully coherent) convo on the novel. We'll be at an indie bookstore: Kunzum!

Do check with your fave bookstores for this one please

And I just got this and it's a treat.
Very beautiful -- the characters, the art, the plot -- and a look at loss that's full of grace and wisdom. (Lived wisdom, it sounds like, based on the afterword)

Anyone from Delhi here who wants to either head to the Poetry Festival this weekend (My mum is speaking!) or the Sports Literature Festival (I should stop by) ... or a talk at the American Center I'm facilitating on Ageism and Leadership (and women).

One of these things is not like the other? 🤣

Such a great suggestion to practise my rusty Spanish: a friend suggested reading this en espanol. (Me encanta!)
