Happy 2022! Thanks to everyone who wrote about the columnist positions. We had too much interest! We’re excited for our new columnists, @amygcb @MandiraPattnaik & @TravisCravey , as we build a new section on our site. Will they each win a Pulitzer writing for trampset? Probably.

Watched the film adaptation of 2States once again last night. As a Bengali married to a Telegu, I soooo connect with it. Feels like #MyStory . I too cried at my wedding becoz I was tired making it happen, believing it'd happen all the way. Thanks @chetan_bhagat
