MY SWEET HOME: CHILDHOOD STORIES FROM A CORNER OF THE CITY ( Mapin, Rs 595) - Samina Mishra, Sherna Dastur and the children of Okhla are the contributors - is an engaging attempt to portray the children's perception of the space that they inhabit. The media's prejudiced depiction of the city-space after the Batla House encounter, led to the inception of the project.
Glimpses of everyday life are mirrored in the drawings by these young, imaginative minds. Anxieties related to belonging, an issue pertinent to New India, have been reflected effectively through both text and image.
