I’m very lucky to have been awarded a Hawthornden Residency at Casa Ecco on Lake Como. As I report in my post, I arrived here and worked on the manuscript of the short book that will be published by Aleph under the title The Social Life of Indian Trains: A Journey. This is going to be a part of Aleph’s Essential India series.
Half of the residency is over—will I make good use of the half that remains? What is the important lesson from Akira Kurosawa that I must remember as I work on my book? Read my report here.
