I am off to Berkeley for the next few days and the weekend. I am on a panel with some soon-to-be-illustrious names of South Asia studies. My intention is to keep the conversation to the plebian level. I also intend on finishing the paper. Ahem.
Also next week, our own conference at Chicago, begins. And I am lax there as well.
So, I am feeling a tad overwhelmed. And someone had the temerity to say, گرتے ەيں شاە سوار ەي، ميدانِ جنگ ميں
yeah, right. I surrender now. In other words, gentle readers, amuse yourselves. If anything noteworthy happens at the conference, I will tell.

Well, the alternative is to “gutnoan pe bal chalna.” Not a good idea in the Bay Area. :-)

I’ve heard that while the conference itself could do with some improvement, the after-panel celebrating is incomparable. Is that true?

the memory is a bit hazy…which for panelits speaking of memory and history, is just plain sad.

ah, but it is in this liminal space that representations (and our bread and butter, dare i say) are generated..
