[Reader-list] cybermohalla by lanes

[Shveta Sarda]

Dear all,

Sarai announces the release of the book 'Galiyon Se / by lanes'. A culmination 
of an year-long interaction and conversations between twelve young people 
from the LNJP basti, Delhi (basti: a non-legal settlement, almost perpetually 
under the threat of dislocation), this book is to share with others the 
narrations, reflections, commentaries, word play and observations they have 
been engaging with. The writings in the book are a glimpse into the 
personal/public diaries in which they write about the everyday living in the 
city.

LNJP basti, a working class settlement, is located in central Delhi. The book 
is about the basti - the lanes, elections, perceptions, celebrations, 
accidents, dislocation, evictions, work situations, technology, life stories. 
It includes interviews, stories, write-ups, photographs and animation.

The bilingual (Hindi/English) book is the first from Cybermohalla, an
experimental collaborative  initiative for the creation of nodes of popular
digital culture in Delhi between Ankur, a Delhi based NGO and Sarai. It has
been translated, edited and designed at Sarai.
