The Ank have also been the home that established writers have occupied for years, because it not only allows them the freedom to explore subjects as multifarious as history, nature, culture, socio-economic issues, climate change, literature, art, politics, philosophy, health, humour, women’s issues, cinema, sports, science and so on, it also connects them with a devoted, loyal, eager and discerning readership. More than the faraal (a spread of snacks relished during the Diwali celebrations), people wait all year to savour the Ank packed with a rich variety of articles, short stories, poems, essays, interviews on diverse themes chosen carefully, and penned by eminent writers.įor a century (the first Ank was published in 1909), these Ank have been launchpads for promising young writers, and a debut piece in one of these becomes an endorsement of the writer’s arrival on the literary scene. Come Diwali, and it’s time to make space for Diwali Ank (magazines), the special issues that publishers bring out during the festival, in Maharashtra. Once a year, I take a short break from reading books, despite the ever-growing TBR list beckoning me to pick up my next read.
