Dear Faithful!

I hope this finds all of you refreshed and ready to exercise those brains after a long and many-festive-holidays interspersed break,

It is time for us to reconvene at the usual place (which is now renovated and looking much better than before); I am delighted to invite you all to another brainstorming evening, this Friday, November 19, 2010 (tomorrow, from 5.30 p.m. onwards, at A-131, New Friends Colony, Basement Library, to join Dr. Rajeev Dhavan as we attempt to make sense of the set of contradictions that define the Kashmir issue.

Please join us in large numbers, I hope you have made lots of new friends during the holidays and will bring them and more people along with you! Don't disappoint us, show up, and we will supply the usual fare of intellectually stimulating discussion, hot tea and jalebis :)

The PILSARC Friday Talk Series is intended to provide a free and informal forum for intelligent, critical, analytical minds to speak out and have their voices heard.

I do look forward to seeing all of you!!

Rashmi
