In his new book, @WajahatAli tells the story of his parents going to prison. How difficult was that to share? “Once you tell the whole story with the warts, the joy, the glory, the pain — it’s the truth,” he tells @MehdiRHasan. “It wasn't painful, it was actually very cathartic.”

Mehdi: The word is not ASTERICKS, for the love of PETE. ASTERISK. AS-TER-RISK. Don't make yourself sound like an ignorant sod.

Your Mother’s Skirt. The son of Grace, de facto Chieftain of the O’Malley dynasty, stepped behind his mother on deck in a sea battle. She turned, lifted up her skirts and scalded him with “An ait a dthanaig thu!” (The place you came from!). Grace (The) O’Malley is worth a look.

Someone in the minority community is basically alone. It is impossible to raise a voice. I am sure many are not successful except a handful few even though they may have something important to offer.
