\nAmruta Patil<\/strong>, India\u2019s first published female graphic novelist brings us her second novel Adi Parva<\/em>, an impressive 250-plus pages! The book is \u201cvia\u201d Amruta rather than \u201cby\u201d her because it is just the latest incarnation of the Mahabharata. The book is illustrated with a mixture of drawings, paintings, collage and mixed-media. While the sections with the storyteller are in black-and-white, the stories she weaves are in brilliant colour. There is a story within a story kind of feel to the book. It is a fascinating read, whether you are being reintroduced to the stories or discovering them for the first time.

\n\"book\"Shiv Ramdas\u00a0on Books<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Earthsea<\/em> series by Ursula Le Guin<\/strong> is one of the most genre-defining pieces of literature ever written,\u00a0so much so that many of the most popular aspects of some of the biggest contemporary bestsellers are devices that Le Guin first created. The Academy of Magic at Roke for one, or the concept of true names and magic being based on the inherent meanings of words- it was\u00a0Le Guin who first came up with all of it- for Earthsea.\u00a0<\/span>And then there\u2019s the story and the style, both of which are sublime. All in all, this is a must-read for any fan of speculative fiction.

\nAlan Hampton<\/strong> is a wonderful multi-dimensional musician. He can be found playing bass with the likes of Robert Glasper<\/strong> and Gretchen Parlato when he\u2019s not writing and recording some of the best pop music of this generation. His album The Moving Sidewalk<\/em> is a modern classic. Also, Luke Temple is one of my favourite living songwriters. His lyrics and music work harmoniously together to create magic.

\nPerfect Sense<\/em> is the story of a chef and a scientist as they witness the end of the world, strangers who form a desperate romantic connection in the face of an apocalyptic epidemic that robs people of their sensory perceptions. Directed by David Mackenzie<\/strong>, the film is one of the most crafty but underrated master pieces produced in the last decade. Eva Green<\/strong> and Evan McGregor<\/strong> are perfectly cast and the score by Max Richter<\/strong> is spectacular. If you appreciate films like Children of Men, this is the film you would definitely want to watch.

\nDiva Kitsch<\/strong>\u00a0offers an unusual view of Delhi, with glass panes overlooking the Defence Colony flyover. The bouquets of decorative flowers on the stairs lead you to the dining space decorated with eclectic curios. Pick from a carefully selected array of innovative takes on pan-Asian fare, conceived by celebrity chef\u00a0Ritu Dalmia<\/strong>. Begin with Vietnamese rolls served with nahm jim. For the mains order young jackfruit curry with fresh red chilli served with rice noodles or the roti bawang. Their udon noodles in a mushroom broth redefine comfort food. The excellent service is the cherry on top.
