The Reading Pile

Sana Malik · director, Roshni Education Trust — forty open tabs of good intentions

Sector reports, policy PDFs, the long article three people forwarded — Sana saves them all and reads almost none. The pile isn’t a reading list anymore; it’s a guilt list.

The Reading Pile takes anything she sends it — links, PDFs, a voice note saying ‘remind me why this matters’ — and returns one Saturday-morning brief: what each piece says, what’s actually new, and which two deserve her full attention.

A sketch of the weekend brief — not yet built for a client, which is why it fades out.

6 items sent this week · 2 flagged worth your full read

1. Worth your time: ASER 2026 rural learning survey

New district-level data for south Punjab — directly relevant to the Karwan pitch. About 40 minutes.

2. Worth your time: essay on donor fatigue

One usable idea: report failures before donors ask. Twelve minutes.

3. Summarised, skippable: 4 items

Two sector newsletters, a webinar recap, a policy draft — nothing new versus what you already know.

What we’d build

The essentials

We run this for you. You don’t operate anything; the brief just arrives. Your decisions: what gets sent in, and how ruthless the ‘worth your time’ bar is.

Honest note
It calls things skippable and will sometimes be wrong — the two-per-week discipline is the feature, not a limitation.
