“Can you call yourself a writer if you haven’t been published?” one of the new writers, Dharini Bhaskar, said in a closed-door workshop before the session. The label did not seem to matter as much as the act of writing seriously and self-critically. The writers’ work ranged from Aditi Rao’s poem titled ‘The Little Mermaid Was Indian,’ to Syed Irfan Muzammil’s reading from a portion of his novel set in Pakistan, in which a man washes a dead body, as well as other writers’ scenes set in Iceland, Nigeria, Delhi, Mumbai and New York. Young and established writers discuss the writing life at the Writers of India festival.
