• Ravan and I in 2019

  

  I wrote this poem in memory of the Aarey Forest tree-felling in Mumbai. The story is that the Mumbai Metro needed to cut 2185 trees to make a car shed. Environmentalists and responsible citizens protested against the cutting of trees and the case was taken to Court for a decision. The High Court approved the…

• Mumbai Diaries :Beware! The Titans are at war

  

  On the 20th, we woke up to blue skies – summer skies. I had forgotten how that looked- my eyes having got used to all shades of grey for the last 2 and a half months. Even the sun looked different that day – glowing amber- orange not pale watery yellow. I drew the curtains…
