It was heartening to see the response to the mahejabeen poems. I
am particularly pleased with the elevation in the level of discussion. I
hope it continues. I plan to post three more kavitas of hers in the next
few days, time permitting (I would like to post more, but I do not want to
cheat the publishers and writers out of a well earned buck. For those
that want more of mahejabeen's poetry, the publishers address is
pratyaamnaaya pracuraNalu, 12-2-709/C/8, Karolbagh Road, Padmanaabha
Nagar, Mehadeepatnam, Hyderabad -28; Ph: 3515470; price Rs.50.)
Happy Holidays!!! --- V. Chowdary Jampala
