Unfinished… Read my new story…

A masala is of course a mix of things. In the culinary version it is spices that imbibe our food with a texture and tones. In music I guess hip-hop would be the closest to a masala. Art is more difficult. Perhaps modern art would be the best use of the term… Next comes the literary analogy. Books, poems and even our conversations are a masala of terms, dialects and languages. So what better title for a mix of diasporic writers each with our own voice, resonating to the same chord?

I’m pleased to that I’m included in this anthology and  its now available on Lulu for hard copies and online versions. Check it out!

WORD MASALA: Brings together widely published, finest, but grossly ignored non-resident South-Asian Diaspora authors, poets, artist and photographers.

All White on the Night…

I was recently mentioned in this article which discusses Asian theatre…

I surprised to read that people think theatre takes up too much time! We have such a history of theatre – so I definitely think its more about subject matter. When there’s an Asian production on there’s always lots of support. I think the challenge is in the cross over and also enticing audiences to see things that are not ‘traditionally’ Asian.

What are your thoughts on this? I’d love to hear…
