The latest issue of Eclectica is online and two of my poems are in it. Do read.
I’m still grinning about yesterday’s news that the Delhi High Court has come to its senses about Section 377, homosexuality and basic human rights. Now if only the government would actually overhaul the law. I’m also grinning because I started the month with book-buying, which is always a good way to start. Acquisitions: A Man in the Dark by Paul Auster, The Unicorn by Iris Murdoch, Delta of Venus by Anais Nin, a host of Joyce Carol Oates (The Rise of Life on Earth, The Falls, Man Crazy) and Vol 5 of the Sandman Series: A Game of You by Neil Gaiman. As I was telling a friend the other day, Neil Gaiman is my fix. His Sandman series is available in ten volumes that bring together all the comics. My plan is to buy one volume a month because I want to savour pleasure for a change instead of hurtling through it like I usually do. I was also gifted A Poetry Handbook by Mary Oliver. Much joy. 
Oh, and today, there is a Toto Funds the Arts reading of Ram Ganesh Kamatham’s new play, Ultimate Kurukshetra, at Crossword at 6.30pm. Some well-known theatre people (Mallika Prasad, Balaji Manohar, Ajith Hande) will be reading. Apologies for the late notice–but there is a repeat performance at the Rangashankara tomorrow at 11 am. So in case you miss today’s reading, you can catch it there.
