Hello folks, Silklister Sruthi and friend Sharanya are performing in Bangalore, as part of the Toto Funds the Arts programme. I've been to a few readings by Sharanya, as well as organised a couple with her in Chennai. I can honestly say she is a superb performer, and her poetry is fantastic (in the true sense of that word.)
Sruthi is a writer I like, and have heard her perform before in a small event Sharanya and I organised, and it was superb. On top of it, she is a Silklister, so some meandering-ly, driftingly, interesting stuff. If you folks have the time (or even if not, make some) and don't mind going to the city centre on a weekday night, attend the show. Details below.
