Just a heads up, again for DC folks, watch out for a DC launch party for Shabash, the hip guide to all things South Asian. It’s put together by L.A.’s Artwallah team and features writers from cities around the nation (including yours truly). This is a slick and eye-catching coffee table type of book loaded with articles and reviews covering ‘desi’ arts & culture around the US.

Launch parties are being organized now in major cities; watch out for a party here in DC. Details coming soon.
