The Bioscope Man



When I first entered the JU campus, I heard about a guy called Indi who had quite a cult following. I never saw him or for that matter, even if I did, couldn't remember him. Then came all those music reviews that shaped my cd shelf and I am still grateful to Indrajit Hazra for my early love for music. The Burnt Forehead of Max Saul was a bit of a letdown, although I liked its tone...The Garden of Earthly Delights followed and I still think this undiscovered gem didn't get its due worth although it may have been a tad overwrought...I still follow his editorial writings and expect a really good novel from him. This one is surely promising...I would have loved to work more on the sepia cover although it was not chosen...

3 Zakia Mansion



The spread above was finally chosen although I also like the the other one...The photograph was shot at one of my favourite haunt at Chandannagar...who knows how long it may stay that way...

Families at Home

Families at Home by Reeti Gadekar to be published by Harper Collins was shortlisted for the ManAsian Literary prize 2007. This cover is a welcome change from all the "proper" stuff I was doing for a long long time. This IS my style...with blood on the tracks...
