What a moving and insightful interview, Steve. Thanks for taking both math and non-math listeners on such a deep dive into our fraught times.

🌈Today is #NationalComingOutDay. 🚪For many queer South Asian immigrants in the U.S., coming out carries real risk. Author @ManilSuri (he/him) speaks about a silence so deep that coming out can feel impossible. #ComingOutDay #LGBTQ #DesiPride #DesiQueer #ARoominBombay

My mother wrote a letter to Indira Gandhi asking for a job after her father died. Some months later she received a reply asking her to come for an interview and she got a job as Mrs Gandhi personal assistant. @manilsuri in conversation with Arsen @boulderbooks @JLFLitfest @JaipurLitFest #JLFCOLORADO

The room was a central identity for the book. While it was a refuge from the toxicity of the neighbors, it was still a place I needed to escape from. @ManilSuri spks to M.Randall O'Wain. @JLFLitfest @JaipurLitFest #JLFUSA #JLFNORTHCAROLINA @TeamworkArts

Now that I'm retired and don't have to carry my laptop to classes any more, this is how I've repurposed my laptop case. Perfect for AirBnb trips!
