So, you know, come one come all and stuff like that. I hope I'm completely well by the time this reading rolls around. And I'm considering reading more recent poems in addition to stuff from the book. What do you think? Vivek did point out that the poems I said I'd never read before sounded more fresh when read than the ones I'd read a thousand times before.
Update: This is kind of sticky until the 15th, so all new posts below this one.

Aw! I was just in Bangalore a few days a ago. Wish I could have been there! Anyways, been regular reader of your blog, but first time commenting :)
Well, guess what, I'm leaving Bangalore on 18th afternoon. What a bummer that is! Would have liked to catch the whole reading this time.
Hari: That's sad...I saw the photos on your blog - nice stuff!
Banno: Damn! You should have at least called - we could have met for coffee or something. I was there 17th afternoon on.
