A poetry collection about trans bodies, sapphic love, the desi queer community, and growing up Bengali in early 2000s Kolkata.
This is an indie debut poetry book by a non-binary Bengali author. Buying an author copy helps support me directly, as opposed to buying from a website.
INR = Rs 300, USD = $ 4 (INR 300 converts to only about 3 USD, however, P*ypal skims off quite a bit, so if you want to support me, would appreciate if you paid around 4-5 USD)
HOW TO ORDER:
🦚 Fill out the Google form. There you can provide your personal details- address, pincode, country, name (PLEASE add the same name as a note in your Gp*y/P*ypal payment following slide 3; this will help me keep track.) as well as choose an edition of your preference and let me know what inscription/note you’d like me to add, if any.
🦚 After the base payment of Rs 300 is made via P*ypal or GP*y, I will confirm your purchase via Instagram DMs. Please ensure that your DMs are enabled, and if not, please mandatorily add your email ID.
🦚 Once I have finalized your order, I shall calculate shipping charges and let you know the additional prices to pay. For Indian folk, this will take 7-10 days. For those living abroad, please be patient, it might take slightly longer to calculate.
🦚 When you clear the shipping charges, your parcel shall be mailed soon after.
International purchasers, please try not to cancel orders after booking, I swear I’ll have a meltdown if I have to figure out the P*yPàl and overseas refund transactions. Please, please be patient and cooperate; I’m a debut author and am still figuring out the nitty-gritties of overseas shipping. Also please note that I cannot 100% guarantee you a colour edition of your choice; although call me biased but they are all so beautiful. My payment details are on slide 3, and if you cannot purchase my book atm, I would appreciate a tip on my ko-fi!
Thank you for supporting a Bengali trans queer author; I hope I can write more for you soon.
For this sale, first priority will given to readers who identify as Desi, Bengali, LGBTQ of color and/or trans queer.

I’m late to the party yall but omg The Aggressives (2005) is currently streaming on Tubi! I’m so excited to watch it this week 😭💕 I’ll post an update after I finish it!
It’s a documentary about Black, Latinx, and Asian Butch lesbians, trans mascs, trans men, and femmes navigating New York.
There’s a follow up documentary called “Beyond the Aggressives: 25 Years Later (2023)” that’s streaming on Paramount as well!
As a baby-bangs haver who doesn’t shave their puss, the TikTok audio that says “I baby my bang, I pluck eyebrow, I do nails, I buy brand new car, I DON’T shave puss! I don’t shave puss…” periodically starts playing on loop in my brain. I’d just have to buy a car and I’d be Her…
