From the Editor’s Desk
Over the long weekend, I watched two films, About Dry Grasses (2023) a Turkish film directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, and Joris Iven's A Tale of The Wind (1988). What I took back with me was two different perspectives of looking at the world, and at art and literature. Mulling over the films, again and again one comes to the conclusion that all good art thrives on the ability and the consciousness to make us reflect, and then connect that reflection to our own lives.
To be able to understand how a piece of creativity turns private joy, passion and sorrow into something universal is understanding the route to creating something new. Each new issue of ours is a representation of culling the creator's emotions into a different mould, giving it new life, new meaning. This April, we bring you stories, book recommendations, poetry, reviews, essays and an interview- an insight into a different creative world, through different lenses.
