This is an official call (and ill-disguised plea) to all readers and Kinaara supporters and enthusiasts to submit their thoughts on the subject in prose and verse to kinaaramail@gmail.com by the 15th of July. While physical and political forms are the more obvious forms of conflict, we're sure we shall some innovative takes on the topic as well. Don't disappoint us!
On behalf of the editorial team, which can hardly wait,

The Third Panelist
Pratim D. Gupta has agreed to sit in the panel for the launch on July 1st. He is an eminent film journalist in Calcutta and has conducted quite a few quizzes in the city.
Here's wishing many more years to Mr. Bachchan :)
He added as a post script that he'll make it to the launch unless something drastic happens - something like the death of Mr. Bachchan.

Time: 1 pm - 2 pm
Attended: Monidipa Mondal, Rohit K. Dasgupta, Anomitra Biswas.
Happenings:
We have our meetings at the unlikeliest places, though Monida's Canteen over a plate of dubious chicken fried rice I think is favourite.
This was a good-news meeting. Things announced at this meeting are:
- We have got permission to use the Seagull Bookstore for our magazine launch on July 1.
- We are having a panel discussion at the launch. The discussion topic is 'Representing the Global South Asian.'
- We have also got confirmations from two panelists to speak at the discussion: Samantak Das and Kavita Panjabi, both professors of the Comparative Literature department of Jadavpur University.
Things we discussed at this meeting are:
- contents of the July edition, this being the day of the deadline,
- submissions we have received so far for the August edition,
- the launch programme in further details - exact time, calculation of costs, where to get laptop, internet, projector, screen, furniture etc. from,
- who to invite as the other speaker(s) for the panel discussion.
