Had a decent time at Tehelka's THiNK fest in Goa last week, but the unexpected personal highlight was the acquisition of... this cushion cover.
The illustration on it was done by Sudeep Chaudhuri for the cover of the year-end Tehelka special I co-edited with Nisha Susan in 2008 (later published in book form by Hachette), and I remember how delighted I was when I first saw the picture all those years ago: Foxie was just a few months old at the time, and it was a lovely coincidence that the dog in the illustration resembled her so much - the posture, the long limbs, even the red collar she wore as a pup. (The resemblance became more pronounced subsequently, with
her illness and emaciation.) It is still a source of strange, irrational comfort that a book with my name on it has this picture on the cover.
[More on the anthology here, for anyone interested. And here is one of the stories, Manjula Padmanabhan's piece about a vampire in Delhi]
