will we be a-muse-d? [e-periodical notice]

an email received

my literary confrere in Bangaluru, one Vasudev Murthy, tips me off not only to his rise to the heights of the humor elite (if not to say his election to the bureau of uproariousness); furthermore, his note (howsoever inadvertantly as such) draws my attention to the existence of a certain Muse India.

Said journal may prove of interest to the Esteemed Readers hereof. Hence this item.

For anecdotal, documentary & incidental purposes, I hereby repreduce the text of Vasudev's missive:

OK, I have been elevated to the High Office of Humour Editor for Museindia. You might enjoy the A-muse-d section at

http://www.museindia.com/cissue.asp
Wishing you a charming New Year!

VM

Indeed & forsooth, & likewise!

Are we amused? Really, I await the next issue of the 'zine, when (one presumes) Vasudev's full influence will be brought to bear. Meanwhile, other facets of the publication merit attention.

It's an ejournal per se. Quoth the current issue's editorial:

You are browsing through the first Anniversary issue of Muse India that was launched early in 2005. A year has flown by and we hardly realized it ... seeing our ideas take wings and soar off the ground....
...we rededicate ourselves to the path we have chosen -- to showcase the best of Indian writings in English and in English translations of our rich regional literatures, to the world at large through the medium of Internet.
