Workshop at IICP

There is a unique opportunity going for 15 people to join a five day creative writing workshop with the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy (IICP) to be held from 21 March to 25 March. Trainers include myself, Aveek Sen of the Telegraph, Sarmishta Das, and Swati Ganguly of Viswa Bharati. The 15 participants will do the workshop alongside members of IICP who have physical disabilities. IICP believes in inclusion and in building bridges. It's hoped that this will foster creativity and communication between the differently abled. And let me warn you, these guys are smokin'.

If you want to be part of this, send a mail to jeeja.ankur@gmail.com. You will reach Jeeja Ghosh, who is the Head of Advocacy and Disability Studies. You could also call her on 9433045340, or call Ms Sonali Nandi on 9831057152. Email is preferred. If you call, listen patiently as Jeeja speaks slowly but with great deliberation. Alternatively, you can mail or call me. Places are filling up fast so hurry: I need the names by Monday.

The venue will be the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy, P35/1 Taratolla Road, Kolkata 700088. Each day will begin at 11 and end at 4.

Sorry, Have to Postpone Again

Two of us have to go to the National Library on assignment tomorrow, so once again we'll have to put off the offsite exercise till next week. Sorry.

Offsite Exercise to be on Thursday

People, as you know we have planned an offsite exercise for this week. However, tomorrow there's a departmental meeting at 3 which i cannot bunk. Therefore we will have the offsite exercise on Thursday. We will all meet in class at 3pm on Thursday and then go to South City Mall. Spread the word.

New Sem Begins

Well, we're off to a running start this year with WIP, eighteen people having turned up on the first day of class, a record I think. I've just sent out invitations to 16 people today, so join up, join up. We've already had two story sessions and there'll be much more to come. Should be good. If you're in the class and haven't been invited yet, send me a mail.
Also, where is Ishan?
