Archita is 78% to her goal but donations have slowed (none for 3 days). Much gratitude to everyone who's given so far. She's in desperate need, and would be very grateful for any help. I know things are difficult for everyone right now, even shares help to get more eyes on the fundraiser:
Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in desperate need of financial help. She recently lost her father, her home was damaged in the recent rains, & her mother's in hospital. They don't have insurance, & she's a freelancer. I can vouch for her. Please share widely & donate:

My Muslim Literature class is discussing this. We love it so much. Gratitude that I met Tasavvur Magazine here, and was able to bring these amazing psychological thrillers to my students. The emotional power is mind blowing.
"Late Night Conversations" by Ramsha Farooq Raja stuns with a dual perspective between two family members that are just a little more peculiar than the rest.
