Pratilipi's Anniversary Issue

Pratilipi has been doing some great stuff for the last year and their new issue is now up. Their focus this time on terrorism, with a wide range of articles to get your teeth into: essays, poetry, personal narratives and the unique Pratilipi Questionnaire.

The Cinema Series continues, though there's only one essay this time, by editor Jabeen Merchant. I have to say, though, that given the theme, I wish we had last time's essays [Peripheral Visions] in this issue and this one earlier. This time, despite the extra month available, it was hard to get another contributor to hunker down and produce an essay - those who are busy making films frequently find they don't have time to write about making them!

Paromita is the notable exception: here's an essay by her in another journal you should bookmark - Phalanx.

Go read.

Hey Sridala. Thanks for linking to us - and even more, for doing the feature :)

Dropped by to tell you about the side-effects of linking before we officially announce, though - you'll have to update your links. They're now -
