Came across this reference while reading the article ‘Shrinking space for Books’ by Sandip Roy in today’s The Hindu Literary Review Sunday Magazine. To quote part where the reference occurs in the article -
“But just as I was despairing about being a writer in this age of decline of books, I stumbled upon the Instagram account of a woman in a small town in Bengal. Like many Instagrammers, Pujarini Pradhan (@lifeofpujaa) chronicles her daily life — cooking on a clay stove, chopping vegetables on a curved bonti, washing clothes three times a day. And she speaks in English so that her small-town neighbours don’t know what she is talking about. She says no one can shame her about her accent either. In a state where culture remains Kolkata-centric, she is a breath of fresh air. And she talks about books”
