Pavada, new blog on Indian translation

Posted in Uncategorized by anu on September 27, 2009

In the early days of this blog, sometime last year, CF in one of the comments here had discussed having a blog that focussed on Indian translations that are not easily available. The discussion then was in  a political context, where he had translated a news report for this blog. But time went by, and last week he asked me to write a piece for the new blog, he named Pavada. I sat on it, but it is really up and there is one Urdu translation of Ghalib’s poem and another one that I have to back and read again, it is by the Telugu poet, Sri Sri’s, Jayabheri, please go read. I finished my attempt at, not a translation but trying to understand some of them -I’ve never been good with languages, but would like to think that I have a good ear for songs. He has an open invitation for bloggers and friends who are interested in this kind of writing to send in articles. Way to go!!
