Write on the mark
Author Rahul Saini has caught the pulse of his readers well. He uses metaphors to connect with the present generation
An influx of literary festivals is the latest to divide the fraternity. There are those who moonlight the cause of literature while others would prefer a restricted access to things.
Rahul Saini relies on the metaphor, and speaks of booze and books in the same breath. "Somewhere too many of literature festivals definitely dilute the concept but it's still better than having booze parties," laughs the 31-year-old author, while sitting at Browser's, Chandigarh, and gearing up for a literature festival to be held in Panchkula. "I'll be talking about my upcoming work, which is a series of two books — the first being titled Paperback Dreams."

When things are meant to be, all it takes is a question to possess them. "We went to our friends place in Doon School and saw a lovely English Mastiff. It was only a matter of expressing our desire and they offered him to us as they found it difficult to take care of him," shares Rumeena Singh. That is the story behind six-year-old Hannibal. Late acquisition, nevertheless, entitled them to joys of first ownership.
She laughs, "I gave him the name Hannibal. His earlier name was King, which I didn't really like."

Together they Rock!
The two most remarkably distinct contributions of Parikrama, an Indian rock band, is perhaps their capacity to be consistently performing live shows across Asia and their core belief on de-commercialising music. While the band remains one of the country's finest bands, they advocate rather strongly that the music be free.

Layers of art
