Kat's Top Books of 2023
Was inspired by someone else's post to do a Kat's top 5 books of the year post culling from my #recently reads. I read a lot this year and encountered a lot of great titles, but these ones were particularly memorable:
Vagabonds! by Eloghosa Osunde. Interconnected short stories following the lives of queer misfits and outcasts in Nigeria. I have a passage saved on my phone. I read this back in January so I don't remember the contents as much as the feelings it evoked, but it was beautiful and haunting.
Don’t Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones. Read My Heart is a Chainsaw first if you haven't already. The books pit Jade Daniels, a young woman with a trauma she's refusing to face head on but instead buries in an obsession with the moral logic of slasher films, against irl slashers who keep coming to town. Bonus points for wired jaw representation, aka my future.
Brotherless Night by V.V. Ganeshananthan. Set during the Sri Lankan civil war following a young Tamil woman who's caught in the middle as loved ones join the Tigers. It starts with a striking passage that you think means one thing and then comes back later in a way you don't expect that's a huge gut punch.
The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez. A high fantasy story that is also a diaspora story as the characters' scattered descendants watch history play out. Dips into everyone's thoughts to create a chorus POV that's really effective. Note - incredibly gruesome. Organs, lovingly described, etc.
The Golem of Brooklyn by Adam Mansbach. A stoned art teacher accidentally creates a golem who decides his mission is to stop an upcoming alt right rally. Explores the interactions between the old world and the new and the weight of historical trauma - every golem shares the same ancestral memory. Carries its tensions to the very last page and leaves the reader to supply the answers.
(Honorable mention to System Collapse which didn't make it into the #recently read posts, but I had a great time!)
Nonfiction shoutout to A City on Mars which sourced so many delightful space facts and gave me a lot to think about re: SF worldbuilding that is at all grounded in reality. Plus it was really funny.

TAG 9 PEOPLE YOU WANT TO GET TO KNOW BETTER
Got tagged by the ever effervescent @waitmyturtles (on this post linked here). Thanks dearie! 💖
THREE SHIPS 🔹 It wasn't intentional but mine are the same as @waitmyturtles–
Pat and Pran
Kurosawa and Adachi
Togawa and Nozue.
FIRST SHIP 🔹 The legendary MaxTul.
LAST SONG 🔹 I can't just put one down here; my taste is eclectic and random, and just the last song will paint the wrong picture.
A selection paints a fuller picture (but it's still curious): Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson's "Symphony" (because it was playing in the gym, and the music video is a masterpiece of an LGBT short film that brings me to tears every time – do watch if you haven't yet. It's beautiful). Also Miley Cyrus' "Flowers", the MSP boys' "You've Got Ma Back" and Tilly Birds' "Just Being Friendly." Gonna mention Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" and Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man" too because they both popped up on YouTube. And Adam Lambert's version of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" because Tumblr decided to take a complaint about bots and set it to music (blogpost linked here).
LAST MOVIE 🔹 This one is way out of left field: Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 (the first Tamil movie I've watched in years, and it was SO GOOD). The book it's based on is also a classic. I'm not Tamil (or even of Indian ancestry) but the culture and language have a special place in my heart because of a childhood housekeeper/nanny who was more like family. Now thinking of watching RRR, but don't know if I will get around to it, because the energy in the clips seems a bit overwhelming. (Yes, I'm aware it's Telugu and not Tamil.) Prior to this – it was either Dune or Encanto (no hang on, maybe it was Everything Everywhere AAO; have been avoiding the cinema for a while since I couldn't get vaccinated earlier due to allergies and had to stay indoors quite a bit).
CURRENTLY READING 🔹 Don't hate on this – read the full explanation please – but with a tinge of guilt about the ethics of it all I'm re-reading a book about a certain boy wizard and his journey to self-actualization. Yes, I'm aware the author (whom I shall refrain from naming – like a Voldeuxmort) has in recent years fallen out of favor due to her views on trans issues, and is now a pariah among vast swathes of Tumblr, so please don't come at me, but I have my reasons.
When the books first came out I was fascinated by the world-building and concocted etymologies, but that's not the reason I'm re-reading. Thing is, I'm trying to learn another language (vastly different from the ones I do know) and the books are very useful for this. They have translations readily available in almost any language you could want, and I can cross-check any difficult bits with the English version, and I already know the story anyway. Plus there's lots of dialogue and the original author's style (or lack of it) isn't hugely literary – the prose is mostly functional, even pedestrian. And the plainness of the language helps when you're not ready (at learner level) for any leaps of linguistic trickery (except for the fantastical made-up bits, which you wouldn't need to learn anyway).
Also – and this is a big reason – my late mom loved these books, and they were the basis for a lot of shared memories for us. I remember watching the films with her and visiting the memorabilia stores too. They made her very happy, and this in turn made me happy. Mom also passed before any of the author's less savory views became public. So having them about reminds me of Mom a lot, back when things were simpler and without the current climate of nastiness.
So yes the books have become tarnished in my view, but the way I'm looking at it – these are books I already had even before the author's controversies broke to the surface, so it's not like I bought them recently and am indirectly supporting her here. I used to treasure these books for their imaginative content, rather less so now. There is still beauty in them, but they're also devalued in other ways. I'm not going to throw them out just yet (not right now anyway) – because for now they're also portkeys to happy memories and happier times.
I think of them like this – they're like the heirloom antiques passed down from generations before, but then you get them appraised and suddenly you find out they're not quite the precious artifacts you thought they were. But just because Mom's old clock or statue turned out to be a dud, it doesn't mean I can't use it as a doorstop or paperweight (or just another decorative tchotchke). You don't have to give it pride of place on the mantelpiece, but you can keep it for different uses that bring utility to your life in other ways. (And as always the other voice in my head is going "Yeaaah well, but that clock face has radium and the statue is flaking lead paint! You have a toxic doorstop that could kill the dog and that paperweight is also poisoning the worktable!" OK, valid points; just give me a little bit more time to figure this one out, please. 🤷♂️)
For now I'm using these books as functional learning aids, rather than throwing them out straightaway (it's better for the environment too, I tell myself). When my grief over Mom's passing fades (as it will, it must) maybe I can let them go of them then. 😥💖
CURRENTLY WATCHING 🔹 These shows:
Moonlight Chicken
My School President
Bad Buddy (always coming back to this one – but I watch my favorite bits on repeat, rather than going sequentially in full chrono)
The Amazing Race 34 (missed out on this when it first came out, so it's a binge watch now).
CURRENTLY CONSUMING 🔹 Gluten-free fruitcake – I have one in the fridge being quickly depleted and two others stashed in the freezer awaiting their turn; a dear friend and relation is a great baker, and when we recently got together after a years-long break (kept apart by the pandemic), he gave me several of these delicious beauties because he knows how much I love them and covet quality baked goods that are also GF (not always easy to find). SO GOOD with hot coffee and Thai BL. Also munching on the odd slice of gourmet bak kwa from a secret source, plus arrowhead chips.
CURRENTLY CRAVING 🔹 Chicken rice because of Moonlight Chicken.
ONWARD TAGS 🔹 Would like to get to know you more: @miscellar, @colourme-feral, @theheightofdishonor, @airenyah, @crzshaly437, @dribs-and-drabbles, @gennianydots, @faillen, @bengiyo. Ah and @respectthepetty too! Oops, I've gone past nine. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
As always, no obligation to play! But fun if you do. 🥰

January 2023:
1 of 12 mixtapes connecting the music of my childhood (Tamil pop) and the music that influenced me (sinophone indie) to the music of my new home (The Netherlands). This month: Ilaiyaraaja to Space Fruity Records, via Charlotte Adigéry and boba dream pop.
Track-by-track notes:
1. Ilaiyaraaja - Raaja Rajathi (1988) (from 'Agni Natchathiram')
This song - from a 1988 Mani Ratnam film - was a childhood favourite, and maybe even seeded my future love for minimal post-punk?
2. 昏鴉 The Murky Crows - 我們如此超群絕倫怎能居於世俗所見 (2015)
One of the first Taiwanese bands I adored, and my introduction to the branch of twee sinophone indie that would define my life between 2015 and 2020.
3. Ilaiyaraaja - Vikram Vikram (1986)
I only discovered this classic thanks to the recent remake of the cult 80s Kamal Hasan spy film Vikram, but I was familiar with the writer Sujatha, whose works were serialized in magazines like Kumutham. My literary magazine of choice between ages 7 and 13 was Gokulam, where I submitted many terrible sci-fi short stories that were thankfully never published.
Does anyone remember the Undir family stories?
4. Stereolab - Metronomic Underground (1996)
Stereolab was the first band that got me into live bootlegs, rarities, B-sides, and "sessions" recordings, now a standard part of how I consume music.
5. METZ - Wet Blanket (2012)
METZ was the first band I did a tour poster for!
6. Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul - Ceci N'est Pas un Cliche (2022)
Belgian duo. The best, most joyous, and most exciting concert I saw in the Netherlands since moving to Amsterdam in 2022.
7. Gino Cochise - Fo Woa (2022)
Amsterdam hip-hop artist. The artist I most want to see live in the Netherlands in 2023.
8. Chaar Diwaari - Kaun Mera? (2022)
I get excited by an average of 1 (one) Indian hip-hop song every year. This was the one for 2022.
9. Naujawanan Baidar - Khyber Sound (from Kabul to Peshawar in Fullmoon) (2020)
From an incredible album of anti-imperialist Afghan-rooted experimental music, from the now Netherlands-based N.R. Safi.
10. bed - WET (2022)
I saw bed play at the back of the Foo Concepts milk tea shop in Rotterdam, the crowd sipping boba and swaying to dream pop. A perfect gig. Normalize milk tea at shows! Normalize shows at milk tea shops!
11. Ts Bayandalai - 灰色公马 (2020)
Seeing Bayandalai play live was always a transcendent experience, and this is the album that makes me miss Beijing the most.

Conquer Everest, Not Just a Mountain: 10 Tips to Mastering an Indian Language
India, a land of vibrant cultures and rich tapestry of languages, beckons you to explore its depths. But the key to unlocking its true magic lies in understanding its languages. Don't worry, mastering an Indian language isn't scaling Mount Everest – it's about taking the right steps and embracing the journey! Here are 10 tips to help you become an Indian language extraordinaire:
1. Find Your Everest: Choose the Language That Sparks Joy
With 22 official languages and countless dialects, India offers a linguistic feast. Do you crave the melodic lilt of Bengali or the rhythmic power of Tamil? Pick a language that ignites your passion. This intrinsic motivation will fuel your learning journey.
2. Befriend the Alphabet: Build a Strong Foundation
Every language has its building blocks. Familiarize yourself with the alphabet (Devanagari for many North Indian languages) and pronunciation. Use mnemonic devices or fun apps to make learning these characters engaging. Imagine them as stepping stones to fluency!
3. Embrace the Soundscape: Immerse Yourself in Audio Delights
Languages are symphonies of sound. Dive into the world of Indian music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Start with subtitles, then gradually transition to pure immersion. Notice the rhythm, intonation, and the music in the language itself.
4. Make it Movie Magic: Learn Through Laughter and Lights
Bollywood or regional cinema – who doesn't love a good Indian movie? Watch films with subtitles initially, then gradually remove them. The combination of visuals, audio, and emotions will make learning a joyful experience.
5. Find Your Tribe: Connect with Language Partners
Language thrives on interaction. Find language exchange partners online using some platform s like Hindustani tongue or join local meetups. Don't be afraid to make mistakes – embrace them as stepping stones to mastery.
6. Think Like a Local: Go Beyond Basic Phrases
Learning goes beyond memorizing greetings. Use flashcards with images and sentences to build vocabulary in context. Learn about local customs and slang – understanding the culture is key to using the language effectively.
7. Gamify Your Learning: Make it Fun and Interactive
Language learning apps, online games, and even creating your own challenges can keep things exciting. Reward yourself for milestones and track your progress to stay motivated.
8. Don't Be a Lone Ranger: Seek Help When Needed
Learning a language is a personal adventure, but don't hesitate to seek guidance. Enroll in online courses, find a tutor, or join language learning forums. A little help from a friend (or mentor) can go a long way.
9. Celebrate Every Milestone: Big or Small, Victories Matter!
Acknowledge your progress, no matter how small. Being able to order food in a restaurant or have a basic conversation is a cause for celebration.
10. Consistency is Key: Make Language Learning a Habit
Language mastery is a marathon, not a sprint. Dedicate short but consistent practice sessions each day. Integrate learning into your daily routine – listen to music on your commute or label objects in your house in the target language.
Conclusion
Learning an Indian language is more than acquiring vocabulary and grammar skills – it's a journey of cultural discovery. Embrace the adventure, celebrate your progress, and with these tips, you'll be well on your way to conquering your linguistic Everest. Remember, the most beautiful language is the one that allows you to connect with new people and experience the world in a whole new light. So, venture forth and start your Indian language odyssey today!

The Elephant Whisperers couple Bomman and Bellie accuse filmmakers of financial exploitation; send legal notice asking for Rs. 2 crore as ‘goodwill gesture’
The couple has alleged that they spent a large sum during the making of the docu-film but the makers failed to remunerate.
The mahout couple Bomman and Bellie, whose lives were shown in the documentary about their special relationship with elephants and conservation, have accused the documentary's creators of financial abuse and neglect months after The Elephant Whisperers won the Oscar at the 2023 Academy Awards. The pair claims that they spent a significant amount on the documentary's production but were not properly compensated. They further claimed that the producers had not returned their calls since the film won the Oscar. The couple is now asking the producers for a goodwill donation of Rs. 2 crore.
PTI got a copy of the legal notice, which stated that the pair was reportedly promised "a house, an all-terrain multi-purpose vehicle, and a lump sum one-time payment as financial support depending on the money generated by the project."
Chennai-based social activist Pravin Raj, a lawyer by profession, said, “Both Bomman and Bellie are disappointed with Gonsalves, who had promised them monetary help as well as help with the education of Bellie’s granddaughter while making the film. But she now refuses to give even a fraction of the enormous profits made by the film.” He also said that the couple followed the filmmaker Kartiki Gonsalves around during promotions in the hope that if the project does well, all of them will do well together. However, Raj said, “Instead, Gonsalves is not even picking up the phone when Bomman calls.”
The lawsuit is being handled by attorney Mohammed Mansoor on behalf of Bomman and Bellie. He reported that Sikhya Entertainment Pvt Ltd, who is representing Gonsalves, responded to their request. "In that, she has flatly refused any more help stating that she has already given money to the couple. I will be sending her a rejoinder in a couple of days after consulting with my clients," Mansoor said.
Sikhya Entertainment Pvt Ltd issued a statement to PTI which read, “The goal in creating ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ has always been to highlight elephant conservation, the tremendous efforts of the forest department and its mahouts Bomman and Bellie. Since its launch, the documentary has raised awareness of the cause and had a real impact on the mahouts and cavadis community. Chief minister of Tamil Nadu M K Stalin has made donations towards assisting the 91 mahouts and cavadis who look after the state’s elephants, constructing eco-friendly houses for the caretakers and developing an elephant camp in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve. The documentary has been celebrated by heads of state across India, and the Academy Award is a moment of national pride that has brought widespread recognition for the work of mahouts like Bomman and Bellie. All claims made are untrue. We have deep respect for all of the contributors of this story, and remain driven by the desire to create positive change.”
The Elephant Whisperers is a touching story about an indigenous couple who are given an infant elephant named Raghu to care for. The plot follows the pair as they strive tirelessly to secure Raghu's rehabilitation and survival. The short documentary weaves together the story of how the pair falls in love with the majestic beast over time. Set against the backdrop of life in South India's natural spaces The Elephant Whisperers celebrates the splendour of exotic species, remarkable wild landscapes, and the people and animals who inhabit them.
