14/09/08 Mailer 8

No meeting on Monday. We'll meet next semester. Meanwhile, please meet either Asawari (I PyEJ) or me (III PyEC) so that we can set you up on the blog.

Those who sent in work to me previously, let me know if I should go ahead and post it, or if you would prefer to do that yourselves.

Best,
Aditi

09/09/08 Meeting 7

Ola!

So we had our seventh meeting on Tuesday. Exactly four of us were there, and one of them was forced into attending (by me, muahahaha). We mostly just talked, and I showed off my copies of sexy Brit lit mags. They were all shiny and black, and I'm just thinking, I can't believe I forgot to bring my copy of FuseLit! That one actually came with a bit of fishnet. Might've been the first time my brother got interested in a book, you know? Fishnet, man.

Attendees

Vibha, Anindita (coerced attendee, though to be fair, she got into the discussion quite a bit), Prasanna ma'am and Aditi

OK, important stuff.

Asawari will be taking care of our magnificent new blog (inknoise.wordpress.com). She will be shining up the blog and adding you as contributors and if you have any questions email her (ywlilysaa@yahoo.com).

I'm thinking we should watch some films together. To do something different, you know. And I'm feeling very generous these days. Perhaps I can bake my chocolate cake, and we can convince Neha to make her biscotti, and someone will bring something sugarless, and someone else will sneak in a bottle of sherry... I'm dreaming now.

Kthnxbai,
Aditi

08/09/08 Mailer 7: Meeting on Tuesday

Hi everyone,

Let's meet tomorrow in Room 29 at 12.30 pm. I have no big plans for the meeting, so bring your own writing or anything else that you think we'd enjoy. Whoever's first gets to decide what they want to do.

As for the blog, the popular vote is that everyone should be able to post on the blog and do so when they feel like. No pressure, etc. This is the link: http://inknoise.wordpress.com/ (The artwork is by Asawari, by the way.) I might have to approve membership or something. I'll figure that out soon.

See you tomorrow then.

01/09/08 Meeting 6

Hi everyone,

Before I get to the minutes, here's a

Question about the blog


Manasa suggested that instead of working with the lit mag format, everyone should just post stuff whenever they like, which eases the load on me, and I won't have to send you on guilt trips when you don't send in work.

Or I can just post what has been submitted to me (four poetry submissions, one short story, one image) as an issue. It'll take me a while though, because Film is killing me. Yes, film personified. It's an absolute vile creature, much like a teething baby that while cry and slobber even when it's getting attention.

So please let me know. Vibha included: emails really do work. I'm not going to attempt reading your mind, so please reply to this with your opinion.

Reading about reading

We read some good stuff. A bit from the first chapter of Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveller and some from an essay by Proust that Prasanna ma'am gave us. As promised, ma'am, we didn't discuss it without you. : )

But we had fun talking about Calvino -- at least I think it was fun.

Attendees

Srishti, Neha, Namratha, Vibha, Sana, Sushmita and Aditi

*

About the next meeting, it probably won't be on Monday. Possibly Tuesday. I'll let you know. Also, Sana has volunteered to make posters. And if I'm not free (blame Film), Srishti will handle the meeting.

Best,
Aditi
