“Is there an Indian way of thinking?”—A. K. Ramanujan
The answer to Ramanujan’s question begins to unfold in a seventy-year-old Delhi bookstore. In a hole-in-a-wall shop, books rise like pillars from floor to ceiling, sustained by a logic both precarious and permanent. A poetic chaos. Personal space surrenders to intimacy as people bustle around me, brushing shoulders. And there, face-out in front of a tall stack, I see Arundhati Roy’s memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me, which seduces me with a single glance.

On this day in 1856, Sigmund Freud was born. By his 74th birthday, he had a clear-eyed view of the occasion, writing to his wife Martha: "There was of course no way of evading the nonsense of the birthday."
170 years later, we can't evade it, nor would we want to. His ideas continue to shape how we understand the mind, human behavior, and ourselves.
Happy birthday, Freud. #freudday
