The meeting was great fun, and I enjoyed meeting all the Silk-listers I hadn't met before enormously. The photographs have been digitally altered, though, to make people look fat.
I shall summarise highlights for those who could not make it. 1] Cory explained how you get free heroin in England if you get someone pregnant. 2] Vinit told us about his fetish for trains, which is why he keeps coming to Bombay all the time. 3] Devdas confessed his fetish for walking. Even though he lives in Borivali, he gets off at Kandivali and walks home, which takes him about seven hours. 4] Supriya told us about her fetish for sexist writing, and why she likes the magic realists for that reason. 5] We discussed why chawls are like college hostels. 6] The second round of rotis came late. There. Now you all can also talk about the Mumbai Silk-Meet as if you were there. -- Amit Varma http://www.indiauncut.com
