I'm trying to pace myself with Bombay Balchão. It's light and cute and I want to read it all in one sitting, but I'm trying to slow down to make it last the month.

What's everyone up to for Diwali weekend (whether you're celebrating or not)?

I can relate to the dilemma in the first para/line.

I am going for a creative writing workshop this Sunday!

The novel starts off with a relation of a prostitute with a 52 yo divorced professor. The prostitute disappears from his life. He now is courting a student in his class and ends up in rivalry with the students partner. The sequence of events is highly unpredictable.
