The civil war had ended two years earlier, suddenly presenting a chance to gather the sorts of personal stories that could neither be collected nor told easily over the previous three decades, when the conflict was still ablaze. But during my time there, Sri Lanka&amp;rsquo;s stock of strife replenished itself, and fear and violence rode forth from unexpected quarters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;fieldset class=&quot;fieldgroup group-story-image&quot;&gt;&lt;legend&gt;Story Images&lt;/legend&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-story-include&quot;&gt;

But what happens in the aftermath of heroic victories? In &amp;lsquo;Much Later, Achilles and Arjuna Speak of the Gods,&amp;rsquo; Minal Hajratwala imagines her two protagonists as aged men occupying the same hospital chamber. Shorn of their martial settings, they look back regretfully at their past selves, much in the way that readers might regard characters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;fieldset class=&quot;fieldgroup group-story-image&quot;&gt;&lt;legend&gt;Story Images&lt;/legend&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-story-include&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Include:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt; &lt;img class=&quot;imagefield imagefield-field_story_include&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;534&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/sites/default/files/three-poems-by-minal-hajratwala_caravan-magazine_july-2014.jpg?1404476942&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-story-feature-image&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Feature Image:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt; &lt;img class=&quot;imagefield imagefield-field_story_feature_image&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;534&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/sites/default/files/three-poems-by-minal-hajratwala_caravan-magazine_july-2014_0.jpg?1404476942&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/poetry/%E2%80%98much-later-achilles-and-arjuna-speak-gods%E2%80%99-and-other-poems&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description> <comments>http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/poetry/%E2%80%98much-later-achilles-and-arjuna-speak-gods%E2%80%99-and-other-poems#comments</comments> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/story-type/fiction-poetry/poetry">Poetry</category> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/tags/modern-indian-poetry">modern Indian poetry</category> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/tags/mythology">mythology</category> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/tags/old-age">old age</category> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2014 06:54:43 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">4571 at http://beta.caravanmagazine.in</guid> </item> <item> <title>Iron Will</title> <link>http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/lede/iron-will</link> <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-text field-field-story-subheading&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Sub Heading:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt; A triathlete discovers the challenges of training in India &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-userreference field-field-story-author&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Author:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/users/harsh-snehanshu&quot;&gt;HARSH SNEHANSHU&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-date field-field-story-dop&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Date of publication:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;date-display-single&quot;&gt;July 1, 2014&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-story-type&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Story Type:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt; The Lede &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;dropcap&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AS MIDNIGHT APPROACHED&lt;/strong&gt; on 8 June, Saurabh Aggarwal donned knee-length tights, a jersey and a cycling helmet, and wheeled his imported bicycle out of his apartment building in Gurgaon.

The city&amp;rsquo;s chaotic traffic and public transport services are symptomatic of its failure to deal with rapid urbanisation. After two decades of liberal economic policies, rising incomes and access to credit, there are now over half a million registered vehicles in and around the Kathmandu valley. That figure accounts for more than 60 percent of all vehicles in the country, and is still rising fast. The valley&amp;rsquo;s population, currently nearing three million, is also climbing at 4 percent per year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;fieldset class=&quot;fieldgroup group-story-image&quot;&gt;&lt;legend&gt;Story Images&lt;/legend&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-story-include&quot;&gt;

When the American engineer and musician FW Gaisberg came to India in 1902, leading the Gramophone Company&amp;rsquo;s first recording expedition to the country, many Hindustani musicians were reluctant to face the phonograph. There were a number of reasons, including, apocryphally, an apprehension that the conical contraption would suck the &lt;em&gt;sur&lt;/em&gt; out of an artist&amp;rsquo;s voice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;fieldset class=&quot;fieldgroup group-story-image&quot;&gt;&lt;legend&gt;Story Images&lt;/legend&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-story-include&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Include:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt; &lt;img class=&quot;imagefield imagefield-field_story_include&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;532&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/sites/default/files/on-the-record_caravan-magazine_july-2014.jpg?1404476942&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-story-feature-image&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Feature Image:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt; &lt;img class=&quot;imagefield imagefield-field_story_feature_image&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;532&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/sites/default/files/on-the-record_caravan-magazine_july-2014_0.jpg?1404476942&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/perspectives/record&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description> <comments>http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/perspectives/record#comments</comments> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/story-type/opinions/perspectives">Perspectives</category> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/tags/cultural-history">cultural history</category> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/tags/hindustani-classical-music">Hindustani classical music</category> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/tags/indian-classical-music">Indian classical music</category> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/tags/sound-recording">sound recording</category> <category domain="http://beta.caravanmagazine.in/category/tags/technology">technology</category> <pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2014 08:49:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">4560 at http://beta.caravanmagazine.in</guid> </item> </channel> </rss>
