If you need to Google visas before sightseeing, you're likely not the expat in the story. Maybe the right to self-identify… is skin-deep. What do these words really mean — and who decides? buff.ly/9iNkHrS
“Immigrant sounds so gareeb. Expat sounds so cool.” That joke turned into a global debate: Is the difference in time, intent, or trauma?
What’s the difference between an expat and an immigrant? Yes, I've Googled it, but there's more to it than Webster and Cambridge can handle. I wrote an essay to attempt an answer, but now I have even more questions than before: indiacurrents.com/are-you-an-exp… @IndiaCurrents @seninreverse
You can publish your poems here. You don’t need any connections or a fancy degree. See what I just did? Add your poems and I will read and share them.
"Hand on heart, to me it’s the ultimate productization of poverty, but if an Academy Award can catalyze change for the millions of 'Anujas' out there, then so be it." Ahead of Oscar Sunday, here's my review of 'Anuja' on @IndiaCurrents indiacurrents.com/anuja-oscar-20… Thanks @seninreverse

"a spiritual bridge from inhibition to freedom that took 20 seconds to cross." I wrote about The Transformative Magic Of The Japanese Onsen. Read it in full here: indiacurrents.com/the-transforma… Thanks @IndiaCurrents @seninreverse #onsen #japan #hotspring #bath #tokyo #onsenryouhou #CNF
Don't trust a book/film review that’s too well written; then it’s more about the reviewer showing off their writing skills & less about giving the audience any real insight into that work of art. Here's my first film review indiacurrents.com/i-want-to-talk… It's not that well written :)
Wrote about my journey back to writing. Hopefully I won't stray too far this time. Read my article "100 Bylines In The Bay" indiacurrents.com/ashwini-gangal… on @IndiaCurrents. Thank you for celebrating this milestone with me, @seninreverse.

Hello Paul @PSH_A1674, I'm a journalist looking for a comment from you for a piece on parkrun :) Could you pls follow me back so that I can DM you? Thank you.

It’s a pleasure, @writerashwini . Please kept documenting your journey for all our sakes 🙏🏽!
Somewhere between making eye contact with the one-legged crow on my window sill in Mumbai last year to admiring strange birds by a brook in Sunnyvale this year, I wrote 100 stories & published 3 chapbooks on a new continent. Loads of thanks being given🌞 #100bylines #thanksgiving
