The theme we have chosen for the August 2012 issue is ‘India Decoded’. This is the third time we have picked the same theme for an August issue. Interestingly, in spite of repeating the theme a third time, we have a whole new set of perspectives to India presented through this month’s selection of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, photography and interviews. We hope you enjoy these as well as our lovely line-up of articles we have featured in ‘The Lounge’ this month.
