A finalist for the @‌armorysqprize.bsky.social , this story by Anuradha Sarma Pujari (tr. @arunikashyap.bsky.social ) narrates the intense atmoshpere at a student hostel in Delhi. buff.ly/FuK7y0q

A long illuminated hallway with the text “'Colonel Gulchand Singh’s Disputed Property' by Anuradha Sarma Pujari, translated from Assamese by Aruni Kashyap. Finalist for the Armory Square Prize for South Asian Literature in Translation” and the quote “What kept them here? The unhindered freedom of Singh Hostel, the quaint atmosphere, and the strong friendships. And he was nineteen. And free. And away from home. His transition wasn’t that easy even though he was ready for life’s adventures.”

Every time I watch Marvelous Mrs. Maisel it's heartbreaking to realise how amazon ruined a good show by truncating it. Now there's #Étoile, they've 2 seasons and the show will be great because it's Amy but then amazon might butt in again and ruin it. I truly hope it's not so.
