The directors of an upcoming three-day literature festival in the city pick out their highlights

Transparent, colourless, odourless, and tasteless — is how our science textbooks define water as a chemical substance. But when we speak with Bachi Karkaria, festival director of the upcoming Times Litfest, on how water became their theme of the year, which is Waternamah: The Romance, The Crosscurrents, The Crisis, there is no science behind it. "It gives us life. It's timeless," she says.
The festival goes beyond panel discussions and talks, with more music performances this year's edition. Co-director Namita Devidayal explains, "The theme gives the festival an anchor and narrative, and dictates around 50 per cent of the event. This year, we've also incorporated a design element. For instance, the students of LS Raheja School of Art will be creating an installation along the pathway that goes into the Mehboob Studio, which is a metaphor for a wave around Mumbai's eastern and western waterfronts."
AT: Mehboob Studio, Bandra West.
