Best of Singapore Erotica

thinthinker SG

Hi all!

I did a Google on "Best of Singapore Erotica" and here I am!
I was quite amused to find that the discussion touched upon me--I am the Hari Kumar Smile
I am glad you found my reading interesting. Do buy the book, since I hadn't read the more interesting parts of my story that afternoon Very Happy

And one more thing--We have a group called Writer's Connect. We meetup every alternate Thursday (evenings 7:00 pm) at the Earshot cafe, Arts House and workshop our original work, be it prose, poetry, whatever. The next meetup is this coming Thursday. You are most welcome to attend. It's very informal and free. We have been meeting regularly for the past two years and have about 30+ members (on an average, about ten turn up on any given evening). We also have occassional readings too. Since there are published and unpublished writers in our group, the exchanges are quite useful. Even if you don't have anything to share you are still most welcome. If you would like to be in our mailing list, do send me a mail at hk11 at gmail dot com. If you want to know more about our group and the other activities like the Poetry Slam, do visit our website at www.wordforward.org

Looking forward to seeing you this Thursday at the Arts House.

Cheers,

Hari

Hi, Hari.

Nice to see you here. Too bad I can't show up for your meetings... I give tuition to a Sec 1 kid on Thursday nights.

Hello Hari,

Welcome to DPS (S)! I am most excited to see you here! Very Happy

You were great on that day, too bad you didnt read the whole story. I am actually looking forward to purchase the book from BooksActually. But according to Kenny, they still havent gotten a reply from the publisher yet. I might have to get it at some other bookstores.

You know something, I was just telling expiringpoet about your group the other day. Although I will be most delighted to join your groups meeting at the Earshot café, but unfortunately not in the near future due to some personal commitments.

By the way you have a very interesting blog. Love your poem Death of a Moon. So will you be attending the coming reading at BooksActually?

Hey, Thanks fudgester, The man who was death, DeadPoet. You guys have really made my day Smile !
Yes! I will certainly be there at BooksActually for the next reading too. Never missed it since they started.
And DP thanks for your feedback on my "Death of a Moon". Actually, like my "Erotica" story, it is also an excerpt from my 2nd novel "Killing the Red God", which was serialized in my blog.
Another excerpt also got published by Penguin last month in an anthology of short stories.

Cheers,

Hari

What is the title of that book? Very Happy

Hi Hari, your reading was great. I'll be looking out for the release of this book too. Cool

thinthinker SG

The title of the book published by Penguin is "India Smiles". You can find the details at their website:
http://www.penguinbooksindia.com/Books/BookDetail.asp?ID=6323

It was actually based on a global online contest organised by a very popular Indian portal, called Sulekha in 2005. There were as many as five thousand entries from all over the world. The first shortlist of sixty was formed based on feedback from over a million readers around the world. The final list of twenty six that made it to the publication was chosen by a distinguished panel of judges. My story, "The Man Who Married a Tree" was one among the 26. Last week I received a copy of the book. It is not out in Singapore yet, but I believe it would soon, since Penguin has the World Rights.

You can find the list of selected entries at :

And thanks to you too, Bluesky

Cheers and happy writing,

Hari
