- Verified leads only.
- Very excited to see Notes of a Dream: The Authorized Biography of @arrahman by @krishna_trilok on the @crossword_book Popular Choice Awards shortlist in the biography category (alongside so many other wonderful @PenguinIndia titles across categories)! sify.com/news/popular-s…
- And there's this: a double win for South Asia at @TheBookerPrizes this year; a small step for the subcontinent, a giant leap for literature.
- ‘Language is courage: the ability to conceive a thought, to speak it, and by doing so to make it true.’ At long last. @SalmanRushdie’s The Satanic Verses is allowed to be sold in India after a 36-year ban. Here it is at Bahrisons Bookstore in New Delhi. 📸: @Bahrisons_books
- Cover reveal: In September 2025, Mother Mary comes to us all. In this iconic photo by Carlo Buldrini, a young Arundhati Roy blows wisps of smoke into a future she can't yet imagine. She's daring us to look away, but we won't. The perfect cover for a book that refuses to flinch.
- Twenty years after Full House, and the best thing on television is STILL John Stamos with a baby. @Grandfathered
- It's Harry Potter's 39th birthday, and I just want to remind you all that he's such a nerd that every time he put on his invisibility cloak he literally went to the LIBRARY. <3
- Delighted that @krishna_trilok's book, Notes of a Dream: The Authorized Biography of @arrahman, has won the @crossword_book award in the popular choice category for biography!
- What an extraordinary thing to be able to share with the world: In September 2025, we publish Arundhati Roy's first work of memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me. penguin.co.in/newsroom/booke…
- Manu's too modest to say it, so I will: He's outdone himself. His most ambitious work, this book fills a crucial gap, tackling great complexity with remarkable clarity and a light touch. It's nuanced scholarship that reads effortlessly. I can't wait for the world to read it.Good morning. Happy to announce my new book. Will release in a few weeks with Allen Lane @PenguinIndia More details here: amazon.in/Gods-Guns-Miss…
- So impressed with the Delhi metro. A woman in my compartment fainted today, and the level of efficiency that kicked in to report it, get her medical assistance, a wheelchair, contact with family - without actually disrupting the service - was simply extraordinary. (She's okay.)
