I particularly found his perspective into "urban Indian masculinity" in our changing world, fascinating. <BR/><BR/>It was interesting that he seemed to classify Anita Desai as a comic writer. I have only read her "Barthelomeow(?)'s Bombay" which was dark and deathly depressing. <BR/><BR/>Ah, so many books, so little time...<BR/><BR/>thanks for posting this, good saturday afternoon read...Themadihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616421924510169326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1143299528037692702006-03-25T20:42:00.000+05:302006-03-25T20:42:00.000+05:30an excellent read....personally, i think email int...an excellent read....personally, i think email interviews are more structured (the pressure to clearly state and committ...), but i agree that free-flowing conversations are more fun...(idle chatter sometimes can reveal a thing ot two about life.)<BR/><BR/>c u around.<BR/><BR/>patnaik (from the neighbourhood)Priti Patnaikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943925599307024800noreply@blogger.com
