In an interview to the Los Angeles Review of Books well known author and poet, Ranjit Hoskote, says “
As writers we must continue to draw attention to the abyss over which we are dancing.” Given the situation we find ourselves, with the pandemic having completely run amok, it would probably be more accurate to say that our dancing days are over and we have plunged headlong into the abyss.
This present crisis, a manmade disaster by all accounts, if nothing else, has brought one of our hidden talents to the fore,our proclivity to slam stable doors well after the horses have bolted.The awakening from deep self- induced slumber of our politicians, bureaucrats and even the Hon’ble Courts is palpable as the crisis seems to have finally caught their attention. As some would still say, better late than never!
