Savitha Day by Day

I am following Savita Bhabhi‘s progress with great interest. In the last strip she has acquired an attractive but taciturn husband who she can cheat on with our blessings. The last strip even give her a bit of a bitchy streak. But in the newest strip she has returned to being the idiot ingenue. She’s...

Singing hurray for love

More Batman art by Mark Chamberlain here. (At work my fag-hag identity is so much in the distant background it was hilarious doing the piece about the gay pride marches. Especially when well-intentioned sources lectured me in case I was suffering from a severe bout of homophobia.) ON JUNE 29, Lakshmi Mathur, a Bangalore-based writer...

Little Corporeal

A few years ago Bent and I were sitting on the footpath somewhere on MG Road in the late evening when he went into an phase of unusually  energetic movement. He jumped up and started waving at a lithe boy shimmering past in faintly luminous trousers. P came over and was introduced. I had heard...
