From Amos Oz’s acceptance speech for the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature.
I believe in literature as a bridge between peoples. I believe curiosity can be a moral quality. I believe imagining the other can be an antidote to fanaticism. Imagining the other will make you not only a better businessperson or a better lover but even a better person.

A campus performance of The Vagina Monologues at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai,
on March 1st and 2nd
at 6:45pm
at the Naoroji (new) Campus, Deonar, Mumbai.
The production is student-acted and has been directed communally by all the students involved. The proceeds from the show will be forwarded to SNEHA, which works with women and children who are victims/survivors of domestic violence in Dharavi. This is the first authorised campus performance of the play in South Asia this year, and is done completely by non-actors.
