Bengaluru Poetry Festival Hangover/3/ With Jayanta Mahapatra. This was a moment, meeting the poet I have admired (I wanted his Collected Poems so bad that Sivakami Velliangiri had to spell out my name for him to write the inscription during Poetry with Prakriti in Chennai. Thank you, Maitreyee Bhattacharjee Chowdhury, for finding me to introduce to him. Lovely meeting you too, in person, though we could hardly talk. There was no time.
