		<description><![CDATA[The first inkling I had that the SAARC Festival of Literature was not quite what a gathering of self-proclaimed “mad dreamers” suggested was on the bus from Delhi to Agra. A veteran of several editions gave way to my questioning and conceded it wasn’t “serious”. The second was when I pushed my way through the scrum at the Grand Hotel’s reception to find, to my chagrin, that delegates had been paired off, two a bed.

		<description><![CDATA[It was, you could say, a Valentine&#8217;s Day Massacre. Perhaps all the waiters in Kathmandu were distracted, lovelorn, unable to keep their minds on the job.

		<description><![CDATA[One good thing about the protests confronting Violence Against Women is that they are being organized by individuals determined to keep this fundamental blight in the limelight until the glare of collective disapproval bleaches it out of Nepali society. This takes time. Time enough, then, for one to attend a protest, stay away for whatever [...]]]></description>
