I am now in Delhi, my second visit hosted by the prestigious JNU —  the campus covers miles! IMG_5202 jnuThe hosts of the university, Professor Saugata Bhaduri and Professor Prasad, Director of the Institute of Advanced Studies, have been terrific.

Today, I had a session with staff and Masters degree students of English literature. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them, and we discussed some very pertinent topics on the art of writing, critical analysis of literary texts (including my story, A Pair of Jeans, my background as an author with multiple identities, book covers, titles, translations, writing drama serials — it was wonderful. In the evening I was taken out for a meal in the famous Vasant Kung Mall by Professor Saugata and his lovely wife, Simi.
