If you’re based in Delhi or Mumbai (or there at the right time), do mark these dates please. I’ll be participating in the Times of India’s literature festivals in those cities - first, on November 29 at the Oberoi Maidens, Delhi, I will be on a session titled “Cinema as Agent and Reflector of Change” with writers Gautam Chintamani, Maithili Rao, Fahad Samar and Srijana Mitra Das.
Then, on December 4 at the vast Mehboob Studio in Bandra, the Mumbai fest is hosting a session about women in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s cinema. The fabulous Pragya Tiwari will be moderating (something I am very pleased about since an essay commissioned by Pragya in 2012 was in some ways the genesis of the Hrishikesh Mukherjee book), and I have been told that Jaya Bachchan has confirmed her participation for the discussion, with Deepti Naval having tentatively confirmed.
Full schedules for both fests are here: Delhi and Mumbai. Do pass the word on.
