i haven't put up pics for a while, so i thought i'd do a little photoblog entry for you all. here we go:
picture 1 shows that shalini is still a little obsessed with checking bookstore shelves for her book. most times she finds nothing, but sometimes she hits jackpot: case in point, virgin megastore at melbourne airport international terminal: woohoo!
picture 2 shows myself and anita desai. at the same table. need i say more.
picture 3 shows me standing between tarun tejpal and kunal basu, after we won the debate. just for the record, who does 'love' better? according to audience vote, novelists, that's who.
picture 4 (not from ubud) shows me doing a reading earlier this year at my old residential college, mannix. they had me over for formal dinner, and there was a talk and reading was in the senior common room afterward.
picture 5 shows the gathered listeners - i managed to keep them awake, which is always a good thing.
picture 6 shows me doing a book signing at mannix college whilst the college dean and librarian look on.
also, deepika shetty from channel news asia's prime time mornings made a report on the ubud writers and readers festival - to view, click here.

nice pictures, shalini.
i wrote about the blogging panel here.
please feel free to add anything i missed. everything felt like a blur afterwards and all i could remember were the things i meant to say and hadn't! i didn't get a photo of it either and am kicking myself. should have asked someone to snap us.
it was lovely to meet you.
Hi Shalini,
Keep up the good work for Oz/Fiji literature. Have a lovely Diwali at the weekend.
