Also, I saw in your bio that you would criticize, please do criticize as I do not the weak points of my story. Thank you so very much for your time. Hope you will read and give your advice. The only fault is that I uploaded 24 chapters in one part... So please bare with that fault on my part. Thank you once again!
Hi! I loved your writing in TBL. Did you finally write the other Khilji's story? Where can It be found? Thanks!
@selokiii Hi! Thank you for all the likes! I'm glad you like it! Unfortunately, life has gotten in the way of literature, so I haven't really written anything yet. If I do, I shall probably publish at some point! Thanks for reading and I hope you like the rest of it!
New project alert!
What do you imagine as the future of your city? Here are some vignettes as I try to imagine the future of some of them!

Hey guys!
I'm happy to tell you that I've just been interviewed for The Burning Lotus by @freedantes! They've done an amazing job overall, including an awesome collection of gifs/music to go with the interview. (Their entire interview series is lovely and informative, go check it out!) You can find it here:

@selokiii Hi! I'm not the person who published the interview so I am not sure. Perhaps @dantesduvallon would care to weigh in?
@freedantes Thank you for the follow back!
Hey guys!
One of my friends is studying how children's literature may have influenced perceptions of the natural world. They're focusing on people who were born in India in the 1990s. So if you were born in India in that time, could you please fill out this form:

They appreciate all the help they can get! It doesn't matter if you didn't read/study in English or if you can't remember what you read as a kid. There are options for those too!
I know I haven't been active on here in like 4 years haha but please help them out!
@thakurvijaita Ah, no. Sadly, you've missed it by one year! Thank you for the interest though! Please do send it around to those of your friends who might fit the age range!
I wanted to ask you about the movie and got reaction to it. I read the comment below.
Indeed, there were flaws in the movie and indeed, there were flaws with the ways of protest. Anyway, I will choose your book anytime over that movie. You can vouch for it! :)
@thakurvijaita Haha thank you. But like I said, TBL is not something I am proud of. It suffers from many of the same flaws that Padmaavat does. Maybe some day I shall return and re craft it into something better. When times are better? Here's hoping! If you do want to know what I thought of the movie as a piece divorced from the protests, I'll be happy to comply!
Have you heard about the controversy surrounding that movie "Padmaavat"? It just came out and I wanted to know your thoughts since your story "The Burning Lotus" was based on the same poem.
@MargaretCardoness Oh haha. I've been expecting this question for the past couple of months. Creating art is a very risky business today. As long as it doesn't promote hate speech and violence, I don't see why it shouldn't run. Banning art, in any form, sets dangerous precedents. I went out and saw Padmaavat. It has its flaws. There are ways to address those flaws that do not involve hate speech, banning and the threat of violence. Once you bring those into the mix, it becomes very difficult to actually critique the said piece without attracting ire from those against such sentiments. Again, another dangerous precedent. There is fear in all of us when it comes to creating art, a fear of retribution that has only grown in recent times. I'm ashamed to say that TBL in its current form is a product of that fear. This is a bare bones story's first draft, written four years ago. Its characterization is not as complex and gray as I wished it to be. It is not based solely on the poem, but on multiple legends that have grown around these figures. TBL was meant to be the first in a series on Indian women, a study in how they defied norms in different ways. Events during the writing of and after TBL have led me to reconsider the type of stories I wish to write, as can be seen in the WIPs that are hanging around my profile and my computer. Hopefully, one day I feel safe enough to continue publishing them. Tldr; Art is art and threatening violence against its content is not a good way to critique it.
