  Second posting - a series of comic book stories.
   
  Hello! 
   
  I've been very erratic with my postings, getting the whole act together has been a problem because i've been travelling a lot. But i hope to be in Delhi for the next few months, and will catch up!
   
  I've had to do more thinking about my stories - and their theme- migrants-in -the -city and stories that look back at the regions they come from. People seem to have different expectations of a project like this. And almost feel a little disapppointed when there are no tribal-girls-in-military-fatigues-by-riverside situations ( at least not without irony) or  a Persepolis take. Someone posted an article about how to write about Africa some time back. Well, that made a lot of sense to me most of  last month. 
   
  But I've been playing around with some short two page pieces, and that's been fun. Unlike my longer stories ( 10 to 20 pages long), which are more in the traditional story telling mode, with text and image and narrative voice etc. With the shorter pieces, I'm working with just images ( no text- or minimal text), with a certain economy , capturing perhaps just the passing of a thought or a mood. The kind of thing one expects from poetry. But comics?
   
  I have a piece - At the Park ( a two page story) up on my blog.

  (Some of the details need a little peering because of the resolution business)
   
  Thanks!
