“Encounter” is a quarterly
e-zine, featuring
biographical sketches, light humour, short fiction,
opinions, articles, book reviews and celebrations
of our past and present achievements. Share your
world with us (in about 700-900 words) or your
photographs (in 'jpg' format); tell us about
your ideas and experiences, a review of your
favourite book or film, your travels, unusual
characters who once filled your horizon—or
still do—and
memorable times in India, or wherever you live today.
We are glad to include amusing snippets provided
these are fresh and original, and not the canned
variety that circulates ad nauseum on the web.
