Excerpt from a year ago

Part 2/2 of my conversation about 'Adi Parva'  with Deepanjana Pal at the Chandigarh Literature Festival 2013. Would sit in the chair differently now, and speak about certain things - the cowherd reference, for example - differently and with less affectation; but that's work-in-progress for you. Part 1/2 may be found here.
