			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been selected to give away 48 copies of a novel for <a href="http://www.worldbooknight.org/about/">World Book Night</a>.  I chose &#8216;A Fine Balance&#8217; by Rohinton Mistry.  I love his novels, so was thrilled to be able to pick one to give away to friends.</p>
<p>So on Saturday, 5th of March this year, I&#8217;ll have a big handful of books to give out.  I&#8217;d prefer not to post them &#8211; so I&#8217;ll do my best in sharing them with you face to face.</p>
<p>A Fine Balance:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In 1975, in an unidentified Indian city, Mrs Dina Dalal, a financially pressed Parsi widow in her early 40s, sets up a sweatshop of sorts in her ramshackle apartment. Determined to remain financially independent and to avoid a second marriage, she takes in a boarder and two Hindu tailors to sew dresses for an export company. As the four share their stories, then meals, then living space, human kinship prevails and they become a kind of family, despite the lines of caste, class and religion. When tragedy strikes, their cherished, newfound stability is threatened, and each character must face a difficult choice in trying to salvage their relationships.</p>

<p>I thought it was about time to update kamsika.com, now in it&#8217;s third incarnation as a site to record my writing and submissions. (<a href="http://old.kamsika.com/">Old site here</a>).</p>
<p>While quite basic for now, I&#8217;m hoping that this will grow into a useful reference site of work I&#8217;ve had published and upcoming projects.</p>
