While Literati has been open but rather quiet during the month of June there are a host of activities which I hope will interest you in the months of July and August. # On the 15th of July between 4 pm and 6 pm there will be an Origami workshop conducted by Master Shivaram who is a very talented young boy who can create complex models involving 200 folds from a single paper. Master Shivaram has been conferred the "National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement in the Field of Origami in June 2001, by the Min. of HRD, Govt. of India. He has published his original models as a book titled- “Fold in Fold Out- Origami Originals” and his original model Aris-Turtle was selected as a winner of the Origami by Children 2004 conducted by Origami USA. The workshop is open to all age groups and Rs. 100/- is the fee per person or child for the workshop. Advance information of participation will be highly appreciated. # On the 22nd of July, there will be a poetry reading by Brian Mendonca at 5 pm. Brian will read from his much-acclaimed debut volume of poems on Goa entitled 'Last Bus to Vasco: Poems from Goa. 'Last Bus to Vasco' was launched at Vasco in April this year. Brian will be coming down specially to Goa over the weekend to make the July 22nd reading possible. Poems like 'Mapusa Memories' 'Souza Lobo' 'Sonya' and 'Fr Joseph Rowland Salema' all owe their inspiration to Bardez and places like Mapusa, Calangute, Sinquerim and Siolim. Copies of the book priced at Rs 150 with audio CD of the poems in the poets own voice will be available for sale. # On the 6th of August, there will be a reading at 11 a.m. by Zai Whitaker, who is an author of several children’s books including The Boastful Centipede and Other Creatures in Verse, Cobra in my Kitchen, Salim Ali for Schools, Andamans Boy and Kali and the Rat Snake. Zai is a teacher and writer. She has worked at the Chennai Snake Park and Crocodile Bank, and at Abacus Montessori School, Chennai. She lived and taught in beautiful Kodaikanal for thirteen years. She is also part of a team that helps women of the Irula tribe of hunter-gatherers and snake catchers. # And on the 17th of August, the Book Club will meet at 8 p.m. for a potluck and to discuss Shantaram, which hopefully most of us would have read by then. Hope to see you then or even better before then.
