Dear reader,
75! The magical number is here! We are extremely elated and proud to present the March 2016 issue of Spark – our 75th issue! What makes this occasion even more special is that it coincides with the month in which we usually publish issues on women. This time, keeping the milestone in mind, we chose the topic, “Holding up a Mirror: Women in Today’s World”. We have a very interesting melange of poetry, stories, essays, art and photography, in addition to an interview and a compilation, bringing in a diverse set of voices and discussions on a theme that is very relevant today. We thank you for all your support in our tough yet rewarding journey of 75 issues. We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we did in putting it together.
