Monsters I have known – an essay about my horror-movie love for The Popcorn Essayists: What Movies do to Writers
An essay on NFDC’s “Cinemas of India” DVDs, including Govind Nihalani's Party and Sudhir Mishra's Dharavi (an expanded piece about Party is here)
Epic fictions - on the Mahabharata, and its many retellings and "perspective tellings" (for many other posts on the Mahabharata, do a search on the blog)
Creative heads and delivery boys - the many faces of the Indian comics industry
Notes on book-to-film adaptations - one of my favourite subjects (the post has links to other related posts)
