My translation in Usawa! www.usawa.in/issue-12/tra...

Calling all translators! We're building a Bluesky starter pack for emerging and established translators—so that we can follow each other and be in community together on the World Wide Web. If you want to be included, add yourself to this thread, and share this post far and wide with your networks :)

Another 2500 words completed! Less than 120 pages to go! Yay!

From the date of my last update on Pettai translation, I could only do 5 more pages. Hoping to catch up today. 130 pages to go, approximately 36500 to complete

It’s morning in South Asia, a perfect moment to follow/request to join my South Asian lang/lit starter pack!

Pettai update - 135 pages and approximately 38k words to go. Hoping to finish it before this year end, take a short break and get to the editing mode next year.

Dr. Mack literally wrote the book on end of the universe scenarios, and she did it with brilliance, good humor, and enough bone-chilling fear to make it scary. And, well, fun. Anyways, if you want a crisis, read her book.

Starting this on Wednesday hoping it'll be a rewarding experience!

130 pages of Pettai to go before submitting the translation to Westland!

Translating some sections of Pettai by Tamil Prabha doesn't feel like work! So much life, violence and romance! It's a full-on Tamil masala movie in a novel!

Thrilled to share that I'll be translating my first full-length book from Tamil under the guidance of N Kalyan Raman! Congrats to all the other SALTxALTA mentees! salt.humanities.uchicago.edu/2024/02/06/s...
