Hey,
Motif's back with 'Cafe' at http://www.motifmag.net, after much rethinking and redesigning. And we've decided to become a little opinionated. 1. The Booker Interntional Award shortlist doesn't include any Indian authors. Does it matter? Should India still be a part of the Commonwealth. Read about it in 'Our Take' 2. An Anonymous author tells us the supposedly true tale of 'The Narrow Escape of Modern Pirates' 3. Sarah Khan writes about a meeting at Cubano Cafe. No prizes for guessing which character is based on one of our editors. Grr. 4. Harneet Bhatia's photographic montage 'Coffee' left us speechless. 5. Nikhil Pahwa reviews 'Closer', starring Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Jude Law and Clive Owens. It's all about sex, it seems. We wouldn't mind suggestions and comments on the new design, and of course- this issue. That's what our forum is for. Use it. The theme for the next issue (6th March) is 'City'. Travelogues, incidents, photographs, opinions - say your say. And contributions need not be only theme based. :) Cheers, Nikhil Pahwa http://www.motifmag.net P.s.: If you've received this newsletter as a forward, to subscribe (one per issue of Motif is sent), please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe.
