Indo-German Writers in Residence project.

September 30, 2006 - 4:30am — kmccook


The word AKSHAR in Sanskrit not only means the letter or the alphabet but also describes the smallest unit that cannot be destroyed. Thus AKSHAR is a wonderful symbol of faith in language and its elementary power, and is an appropriate name for the Indo-German Writers in Residence project.

Georg Martin Oswald (Bangalore, 27.05. – 18.06.2006)

Speaking of symbols

This one drives me crazy: – And it even expands itself when I try to copy it, looking much uglier than in your post.

It's appearing everywhere the parenthesis should, and I've gone back and looked at some of my old entries and see a lot of them. Are there grimlins? It crosses all political boundaries.

Re:Speaking of symbols

Sometimes I can use an html editor and go over them again by taking out and cutting and pasting but there is no rhyme nor reason as to why this seems to happen,
