From the Editor’s Desk
As a country and as a region we have seen much in the past few days. And even while we sigh in relief now, I go back to the film Hiroshima mon amour(1959), and reflect on love in the times of war. A covid survivor, who had walked for two days to reach his home in Bihar had summed it up rather aptly, when I asked him what he would do in a village where everyone was dead- 'Grow onion, garlic and potatoes- survive, and live again.' Whether we shall survive well, and grow and fruit post this, only time will tell and our resilience, and in that process literature becomes the balm and comes to our rescue. We have poems, stories, books, prose and more in this issue. Dive in dear readers.
Here's to May. Happy reading.
