  1. @shanakimball another bold initiative - journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/…
  2. @shanakimball including academic journals? In my corner, IJOC (run out of USC) comes to mind as a high-profile success
  3. @bethlovesbolly @_nilanjana_ and i've clearly been missing out on Beth! [been away from twitter for a few months now]
  4. @_nilanjana_ thanks for this, Nila. And I'm glad you appreciated the bits about music. We don't pay enough attn to that aspect
  5. @Sam_Ford Wonderful piece, Sam! I'm going to share this with my students this term.
  6. @msnu aren't you coming to the conf in Jo'burg?
  7. @swarraj not comparable to delhi, to be sure, but what are places like MIDS up to?
  8. In a wonderful cabin near Marquette, by the shores of lake superior. Work all morning, then off for some sledding twitter.com/aswinp/status/…
  9. all this this chatter about #dilli food is getting to me. Sadly, only 1 option here in ann arbor. Suvai is nice, but it's no Saravana :(
  10. @wyoumans sugar revolution! I like that! I would use it in class but sadly, fear it'll be lost on this lot.
  11. @wyoumans they should come talk to the avg mi undergrad. Protesting attendance policies re sugar bowl is about all the dissent here
  12. having re-read Amitav Ghosh's moving piece on Agha Shahid Ali (thanks to @sepoy), now listening to Begum Akhtar
  13. @parmeshs heh :) also, I do want him to keep coming up with these vapid notions. Grist for academic mill! Like his bollystan stuff
  14. @parmeshs besides coming up with sound bites, has Khanna said anything that seems thought through?
  15. & impossible to resist when Ram Guha says that the book decenters "Indian historiography away from the over-studied province of Bengal"
  16. Can't wait for this book on "Scholars, Scribes, and Scribblers in Colonial Tamilnadu" to be published here permanent-black.blogspot.com/2011/12/blog-p…
  17. @sravishsridhar also, good to be back in touch!
  18. @sravishsridhar :) well, I don't think anyone at DAV would've necessarily had these aspirations (though I'd like to proven wrong on this)
