"This new bamboo shoot hangs over my neighbours wall - hasn't yet learned about boundaries." Satish Gupta
Whenever I land in Delhi, the first thing I do is go to Connaught Place and walk around until I find a newspaper wallah to buy a copy of the First City. It is a monthly magazine with listings of events and places to go, but nothing like the usual expat magazines you find in big Asian cities. More of an upmarket publication on culture and the arts for the people of Delhi, with some great columns and interviews. My favourite column is Satish Gupta’s Zen black, Zen white, a painting and a haiku (or sometimes a longer thought) perfectly arranged on a double page. Every time I get so excited to see what it is that I have to open the magazine as I hand over the money to check it out, and only then can I go to a cafe and read the rest.
