Not astonishing at all... That this book is making its way to its readers...

[Ramu Ramanathan @BoodhuRamu]

Quite astonishing that a book that is so uncategorisable is being stocked in bookstores

Gabo in his personal essay talks about how Kafka's Metamorphosis impelled him to sit at the typewriter, "...trying to write something that would resemble Kafka’s tale"
Result- The Third Resignation - His first story in print.

#MumbaiMurmurings with its 213 tidbits on Mumbai theatre is only a bite-size portion of what @BoodhuRamu can dole out on the subject.

Read it.
You will come away with a wider view of Mumbai, its people, its lanes-bylanes and its theatre.

In JP Saab's office-balcony. A final look at the pages. Wrapping up the proofreading of Mumbai Murmurings. A book about theatre in big + badmash Bombay.

As they say, to be "out" soon.

German translation of my story featured in the #ATTonAir by @DT_Berlin revolves around the devrai tradition.
Can age old practices help draw out a blue print for the future?

Waiting for this one to hit the stands!

Now fingers crossed ...

As Krapp says in Krapp's Last Tape

"Seventeen copies sold, eleven at trade price to free circulating libraries beyond the seas. Getting known."

Thank you for the shoutout @BoodhuRamu

[Ramu Ramanathan @BoodhuRamu]

Kudos to Faezah Jalali and Nikhil Katara

For the publication of their plays in an anthology by Arts & Climate, that features playwrights from across the globe

Standing ovation to Himali Kothari for the publication of her play as well as a performance in Graz last June

Impossible to get away from discussions whether the printed book will survive

Most pundits are quite disconnected from the book reality that we report in PrintWeek

So

This is what a typical book factory in Bengaluru looks like. Please nb: there are many more across the country

@bijal_v @speakingtiger14 @SudeshnaShome That's really sweet... I will save your book for another time then. My younger kids book club (Grade 5) read your Sia and the Mystery Keeepe and enjoyed it.

@bijal_v Hi. I run a book club for children and wanted to assign A Cloud Called Bhura for the next read. One reader lives in Singapore and it would cost Rs 1500 to get the physical copy. I could not find an ebook to purchase on Amazon. Is there any other platform to get an ebook?
