Aparna Sagar

I have a terrible confession for those of you who consider themselves my friends: I wish you the absolute best. When prompted by any one of my friends regarding their futures, I want nothing more than absolute, ridiculous successes and fortunes for those persons, whatever that means for them. If you’re a friend whose aspirations I know too well, I’ll even go far enough to hedge my bets on those fortunes and tell the world just how big I think you are. I know poet friends who I’ve proclaimed as the next “big feature” even when they’re just trying to be lowkey for the night, educators whose credentials I’ll inflate in hopes that they’ll see themselves as the national vanguards I believe they can be, and anonymous bloggers who’ve inspired me to write and thusly wish they’d come out of their shells and own it with their given names. Maybe you can take this insight so you can see it for yourself … Aparna, who has a huge vision for the future …
