Dilip Purushottam Chitre (17 September 1938 – 10 December 2009) was one of the foremost Indian writers and critics to emerge in the post Independence India. Apart from being a very important bilingual writer, writing in Marathi and English, he was also a painter and filmmaker.
We carry a tribute to him. In an article full of personal touches, Manu Dash recounts his association with the noted writer.

BOOK REVIEWS... |
 |
| ‘A sublime thought if happily timed illumines an entire subject with the vividness of a lightning flash,’ writes Ambika Ananth, reviewing Kumarendra Mallick’s debut anthology of poems, ‘Letter to an Imaginary Pen Friend ..’ and says the book offers this.
She also reviews Ranu Uniyal’s ‘Women in Indian Writing…’ and says it defies the general impression that there is much commonality of experience and expression in all women’s writings.

FICTION... |
 |
| Read KV Dominic’s story “Who is responsible?” to feel the pain and travails of old parents whose only son goes back to Oman after his marriage leaving his beautiful bride behind. With twists & turns and quirks of fate, the story is gripping.
While Anjali Gera Roy’s “Coconut Oil and Jasmine flowers’ depicts agony of a woman cheated by a scheming husband in spite of their love-marriage, Gollapudi Srinivasa Rao’s “That Night” presents the compelling charm and values of rural life.
