Egrets are a common sight in Northern India. They can be found enjoying a hearty meal in the wake of a tractor tilling the fields. Egrets happen to be symbols of good fortune, purity, and grace. In many places, these big white birds also symbolise new beginnings and prosperity. In addition, these inspirational and eye-catching birds represent peace, balance, and the divine bright, sunny spring morning, So, here we are with our Egret Edition.
The May edition has on offer interviews with creative wizards- Shinie Antony, an award-winning writer, columnist and director of Bengaluru Poetry festival whose recent book Eden Abandoned: The Story of Lilith has been making people sit up and take notice. We also feature an interview with Mike Callahan, an award-winning Nevada-based artist who creates an entire spectrum of colours through a palette of three colours plus white. Poetry, stories, reviews, visual art, & podcasts suffuse this edition with creative energy and vigour. Our Montage film, 'Khajuraho: Romancing the Stone' walks the viewer through the superb architecture of 25 temples of Khajuraho.

So dear readers & viewers, find yourself a quiet corner and enjoy the literary & artistic fare The Wise Owl Team has curated for you.
