Since I haven't visited this blog for over a year now. Yes, that much is official. And since I've decided to get organised (blogwise) i.e. splitting personal, professional and critiquing lives, this turned out to be just the moment to put some of this together.
It was The Tribune that gave me my first break (that much you already know, perhaps) and The Tribune again that ran a profile. My thanks to the wonderful Editors who have supported me through these years. The late T K Ramasamy and now Roopinder Singh
So the first of my salaams are deservedly for The Tribune
who put us on the cover and ran a feature too.
I met Zafar Anjum at the Singapore Writers Festival and we soon became friends. This was his piece that appeared in Little India
Rebecca Hencshke interviewed me at the Ubud Writers Festival and gave me just the voice with this piece in Asia Calling
Sri Lanka's Sunday Observer popped in a couple of kind words for the session with Yasmine Gooneratne.
Sharon Bakar of Bibliobibuli fame has turned out to be a pillar of support as well as inspiration. Meeting at Ubud was a sheer delight and the start of a literary friendship.
Ditto for Zafar who said this first on Dream Ink
And then there is some of my own stuff that's appeared on the Asia and Pacific Writers Network
On AIAA
Galle on CNA
Galle Lit Fest in the papers
Ubud Writers Festival
Bali Advertiser
Life as it's turned out over the years. Not too bad, given the exciting bends in the river. I could have been richer, but it would have definitely not made me any happier....
