Now arrived in Delhi. Tired, but looking forward to my stay here, and meeting up with three wonderful and lovely women — my publisher Neeta, translator sister Zakia Zaheer, and sister Syeda Hameed, a very well-known politician and, flatteringly, now also a fan.
My session is in a couple of hours in the Advanced Studies department. I am being so well looked after by my hosts from the JNU, and really looking forward to meeting and interacting with the staff and students.
