Payphone Project: "The payphone project went on-line during the summer of 1995... The focus of this part of sorabji.com has gone through several incarnations. In 1995 the project was a list of a few dozen manhattan payphone numbers which i was calling, and i posted the list as a supplement to stories i was writing at the time. despite the confessional nature of many of my stories i hold back a lot of things about my days, and one of the things i never talked about are the days i went through such crazy depression and worthlessness that i slept by the water and almost jumped into the east river... The list of phone numbers existed so that i would be able to call and talk to someone in the event that i became depressed enough that i forgot there are other ways to find people to talk to."
