About

FNote is a collection of observations from the margins. The small things nobody asked about, explained at length anyway.

Sometimes the footnote is more interesting than the text. This is a place for those footnotes—cultural minutiae, linguistic curiosities, the rituals we perform without thinking about why.

Indian life, examined. Not explained to outsiders, but noticed by insiders. The small tyrannies and small pleasures. The words that don't translate. The gestures that speak volumes.
