A Journey Interrupted: June 2008
http://a-journey-interrupted.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Snippets from a few reviews. It’s a troubling journey into a complex society trapped between western liberalism and radical Islam, where distortions about India and Indian Muslims dominate most conversations. Despite its imperfections—a jerky, disjointed narrative and long passages of recorded history—this is an interesting book, made so by the searching questions she asks her protagonists and gets asked in return. She writes with anguish and pessimism, a journey into hearts of. Her reflections on the co...

http://farzana-versey.blogspot.com/2011/03/interview.html
Wired to meet, maul, merge, emerge…. Yes, about me. Wired - a page that speaks. I was on the other side, being interviewed.

How much of oneself enters into the subject’s voice? 8220;But, they were speaking.”. 8220;Your questions were what created this chain and sometimes you’d just move on, almost impatient! 8220;Yes, but it will...

A Journey Interrupted: Review in Swagat
http://a-journey-interrupted.blogspot.com/2008/11/review-in-swagat.html
This is a review that has appeared in the November 2008 issue of Swagat. Which is the inflight magazine of Indian Airlines. Their website.

Cross Connections: May 2015

Wired to meet, maul, merge, emerge…. Yes, about me. Wired - a page that speaks. A life, a death: Aruna Shanbaug. Her death is in the newspapers just as most of her life was. Aruna Shanbaug died after being in coma for 42 years. The headlines continue to talk about her "vegetative state".
