Versions of the Mahabharata’s tales may oftentimes contradict each another, but that is par for the course and only makes for a richer interpretative field.

A glimpse of what’s on offer in “Footnotes to the Mahabharata”. Five poetic sequences based on quirky re-tellings of the epic - in the form of dramatic monologues in the voices of Alli, Hidimbi, Draupadi, Gandhari Kunti and their sakhis. @BengaluruPoetry this evening 6.30 pm.

At the launch of "Footnotes to the Mahabharata", grateful for the love that the book has received. I wore an old Madurai Sungudi cotton in honour of Alli, a character from the Tamil folk Mahabharata:) @WestlandBooks @prakritif #mahabharata #poetry

From the Draupadi sequence. Draupadi as dreamy poet-scholar is not the image which comes to mind. This was the Draupadi I would have liked to meet. #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #epics.
The monsoons are the perfect time to read @SrilataKrishnan's poems about the women of Mahabharata. Footnotes to the Mahabharata is now in bookstores and online.

Happy to share that my Madras/Chennai poem "Bionote" has found a place in "The Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City" edited by Bilal Moin. The poem, an ode to the Madras of my memories, was featured eons ago on the Poetry International website.
