CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Sorry it has taken so long to get this to you, I kept meaning to read it before sending, but never did, I've now given up trying to force myself into reading it, so it's off to you :)

Thanks, J4Shaw! I'm looking forward to dipping into this intriguing volume.
I am enjoying this collection of essays, poetry, and short fiction so much that I acquired a copy of my own. I am offering this copy in ApoloniaX's South Asian VBB.
I discovered that this anthology was originally published in the US as Sulekha Select: the Indian Experience in a Connected World, a title which more accurately describes the writings within ('sulekha' means 'good writing', or even 'well-written' in English). This edition, published in India, bears the title Black, White, and various shades of Brown: the Best of Sulekha.com. I am a bit put off with this title, perhaps because of the emphasis on color rather than on the writing, which reflects such a rich, multi-layered experience of Desis at home and abroad at the dawn of the 21st century. I hope that once readers open the cover and begin reading, they will be entertained and enlightened, as i was.
Thanks, J4Shaw, for sharing this book with me. I hope it will touch many more hearts in its ongoing journey.

On its way to Annimanni in Finland as part of the S. Asian VBB. Enjoy!
Received with thanks!
Valitsit tämän Lyhykäiset-pussista. Hyviä lukuhetkiä, enjoy!
Got the book today in the meetup. Thank you also to the courier who brought the book to me.
It is funny when you sometimes totally unintentionally read several books about the same theme in a short period of time. This was the third in a row about India. The short stories very interesting, some of them were real gems. It was an interesting glimpse into a culture and society that is pretty much unknown to me.
