#Books | Some of the finest literary works were born of conflict & war. Fiction fuelled by World Wars captured the imagination for generations, while closer home, the haunting #Partition stories of #Manto remain unparalleled.

#Art | In stark contrast to the rapidly changing digital patterns of code-based artworks is the unhurried pace and physicality of the installations in the garden of Sunaparanta.
