"Footnotes to the Mahabharata". Four and a half years in the making. Just out from @WestlandBooks #poetry #Mahabharata #epics #poetrylovers #NewBook

"Footnotes to the Mahabharata" is doing a book store tour in Chennai.

We had a magical evening in #Chennai at the reading of @SrilataKrishnan's Footnotes to the Mahabharata. Here are some snapshots!

Questions from Gaza's Children as compiled by staff from the Palestine Trauma Centre in Gaza:

The Madras Players is reading from "Footnotes to the Mahabharata" this evening at 7 pm (CP Arts Centre, Eldams Road) as part of a Madras Book Club event. It would be an understatement to say that I am deeply honoured. These "Madras" things are so precious:) @WestlandBooks

"Footnotes to the Mahabharata" in "The Hindu" and the "New Indian Express". thehindu.com/books/a-femini…

'As somebody who was a working woman and a parent, there are so many things that women go through that remain completely untold...what if I were to slip into the characters of the women from The Mahabharata, what sort of poem would come from there?' thehindu.com/books/a-femini…

Scenes from the #Chennai launch of @SrilataKrishnan's Footnotes to the Mahabharata!

At the launch of "Footnotes to the Mahabharata", grateful for the love that the book has received. I wore an old Madurai Sungudi cotton in honour of Alli, a character from the Tamil folk Mahabharata:) @WestlandBooks @prakritif #mahabharata #poetry

From the Draupadi sequence. Draupadi as dreamy poet-scholar is not the image which comes to mind. This was the Draupadi I would have liked to meet. #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #epics

As the world around us descends into the madness of #war, we are reading @SrilataKrishnan's poem about Gandhari mourning the effect of war. Footnotes to the Mahabharata is now in bookstores and online.

Happy to share that my Madras/Chennai poem "Bionote" has found a place in "The Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City" edited by Bilal Moin. The poem, an ode to the Madras of my memories, was featured eons ago on the Poetry International website. poetryinternational.com/en/poets-poems…

I was on a panel devoted to Autobiographical Writing at the Festival of Letters organized by the @sahityaakademi and so I spoke about the richness of life material, of the experience of being a parent, of writing my book This Kind of Child: The Disability Story.
