My latest humour column for The Hooghly Review has just embarrassed itself on the MTR, a month to the day since Flush Fiction was published. This one is called The Snide Sniper.

Also, an honour to be mentioned in the same post as poet and superhuman Shikha S Lamba! The editors thought it would be fun to have our pieces in the same issue because we have been known to fangirl each other’s work – me because she’s extraordinary and her because she’s very, very patient…

My review of Nifraz Rifaz‘s soaring debut novel Paper Plane just crash landed in The Hooghly Review – on Christmas Eve no less! Thanks Santa/ editor Ankit Raj Ojha for this lovely little festive hit of dopamine! The book launched in Sri Lanka Nov 29. I was invited to give an advanced comment for the launch, which mutated into my first EVER book review! I may have slightly overdone the plane metaphors……

I’ll be back in The Hooghly Review 15 Feb 2026 with my latest humour column, Flush Fiction. Yep – if Nifraz’s novel doesn’t give you turbulence, my column certainly will!

I am flushed to share that my humour column Flush Fiction will be published by The Hooghly Review as a weekly feature Feb 2026! Based in India, but attracting artists and writers from all over the world, The Hooghly Review is a digital free-access magazine of literature, culture, and arts. It’s the bold creation of its founding editors Ankit Raj Ojh and Tejaswinee Roychowdhury and listed on Chill Subs’ Best Lit Mags! I can’t wait to pull down my pants and lower the tone!
