Me? Moi? Ami? Njaan?

An average man, with normal tastes, if it were not literature and music.

Will try to fill in more as we go along.

Its been quite a challenge to put pen to paper, I have been putting this off for a while. I aim to use this space to express my thoughts and views on the books and authors I read, I do tend to stray towards lesser known writers. While my tastes are eclectic, I must admit that I follow Indian writing in English closely. I believe we have some great writers and a great body of work already.

So here goes – comments, feedback are all welcome. I reiterate again that these are my personal views and no, M&B does not come under my interests

I have another blog ‘Objects in the Mirror’ which is the one I vent through when I feel that writing for this one is a lot of work.

(PS. Silverfish is not some exotic sea food )

Lepisma saccharina (generally known as the fishmoth, urban silverfish or silverfish) is a small, wingless insect generally measuring from half to one inch (12-25 mm). http://www.silverfish-insect.info/

  Hi Anu,
  
  Good to hear from you. Was planning to write to you about an interview for you in a local daily. Let me get it sorted and I will write to you.

Indian writing in English is something that I follow closely as well. A lot of these writers have a brilliant hold over the language and the Indianisms add a different dimension altogether.
