On the occasion, British Council is holding The Man Who Would Be English! — a contest for young poets in Hinglish or Benglish. It is inspired, as is the title, from Forward Prize winner Nagra’s collection of poetry, Look We Have Coming to Dover. Daljit’s unique Pung-lish sensibility is the springboard for this contest: (1) The poems must be no longer than 25 lines; (2) They should be an original work in Hinglish or Benglish; and (3) Winners will be announced and awarded on the evening of October 17 by Nagra himself. Entries may be submitted to Karabi Basu at karabi.basu @in.britishcouncil.org before October 15.All those who wish events to be included in this column should write not less than a week ahead to: Time out, The Telegraph, 6, Prafulla Sarkar Street, Calcutta-700 001; Fax: 2234-8244All those who wish events to be included in this column should write not less than a week ahead to:
