Finished around 40% of #HeartLamp by #BanuMushtaq. It feels so dry, may be an issue with the translation. So to wash it down, I started to read the novella #NoOneWritesToTheColonel by #Marquez also. It's short, sweet and live. #BookSky

SC dismisses plea against Banu Mushtaq inaugurating Mysuru Dussehra
New Delhi, Sep 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition seeking a stay on the Congress-led Karnataka government's decision to have Booker Prize winner Banu Mushtaq inaugurate the historic and world-famous Dussehra festival in Mysuru city. A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta remained unimpressed with the submission that a non-Hindu person cannot be allowed to perform pujas, particularly when the invitee, Banu Mushtaq, had in the past made certain objectionable remarks hurting religious sentiments.
