Poetic language effaces divisions, prose imposes them
April and May 2005 issues
For many educated people discussing 'culture' is an integral part of their lives.However, most find it difficult to keep track of what is happening in the various spheres of 'culture'. If we accept that 'culture' in its most conventional sense is restricted within the boundaries of the middle class, that is, it is nurtured by and caters to the educated urban middle class, then we are the right people to welcome the publication of Kali O Kalam, the monthly magazine covering the arts.

Book Review
This is a superb anthology of, as is evident from the title, Indian writing on food. The credit is entirely Nilanjana Roy's, a literary critic and columnist for the Indian papers Business Standard and the Telegraph. I have seldom read an anthology introduction as lucid and witty as hers, which lays out--tastefully, decoratively, with a perfect sense of table setting and which courses should follow which--the organising principle behind the selection of the articles. This introduction should be a model to follow for other editors and would-be-editors of anthologies.
