British Performance Poet, Lemn Sissay, reads at Saptaparni, 6th Feb

The British Council is organising a evening of performance poetry with Lemn Sissay http://www.lemnsissay.com/at Saptaparni, Road No. 8, Banjara Hills, on the 6th of February at 6.30 pm.

Lemn Sissay is on a tour of India, having already performed at Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai. Hyderabad is lucky to have a poet of his calibre perform here; we usually fall off the events map for most things.

Do try and come if you happen to be in town, and pass on the word!

Ok Tata Bye Bye

I'm so excited.

I've been shortlisted for a travel contest. Which involves travelling
& Blogging. Hardly ever been selected for anything earlier :)

Check out the contest and my profile on
http://www.oktatabyebye.com
http://www.oktatabyebye.com/Krishma.asp

(Yes they have spelt my name wrong in the link, trying to get them to correct it)

The final selection is next week. I'm not sure how they will do it.
But have a vague feeling that they may do so based on popularity of
the contestant & ability to draw viewers.

Requesting you to please view my profile & drop me a comment, even if
its just to say "All the best, Kim" or "Don't think u should go" But
please comment.

Hope there's a lot of you looking for something to do on a slow Friday
afternoon.

Please, please, pretty please. :)

Kim
