Dear Mr. Chitre,
I came across your book "Tuka Says" whilst visiting Mumbai in early 1997. I was very much taken with your English rendering of Tuka's abhangs and kept the book with me for weeks, but alas I loaned it and it was never returned. I live in Canada and I have not been able to find a copy here. I was wondering if you knew of a supplier who would ship to Canada. The only one I found was through Alibris books, and they wanted $154.00 for a used  paperback in  'very good condition' - a little beyond me means!
Please accept my admiration and gratitude for producing this wonderful book. The other translations I have seen  seem to lifeless compared to yours.

Dear Mr Chitre
 
I attended the reading held at Open Space last evening for As Is, Where Is. I must admit it was the first time I ever heard your poetry and the copy I am reading of the collected poems, is also my first. I am embarassed to admit that I had never read your works before.
 
Indeed it was heartening to know that some of your works are part of Literature curriculum at Pune University. I wish other universities in our country include Indian writing in English as part of the syllabus too. I graduated in Literature from Delhi university in the mid 90s and did not read a single Indian author or poet during my course, barring VS Naipaul...
 
However, I wished to simply convey that as I read through your works, I am astounded and dazed. I wish that the collection is a success because now I realise the landmark it is in poetry. I hope your cough gets better....
 
Regards,
Ritu

Greetings, sir.
It's a pleasure to have found you online.
I'm a student of English literature in my second year of a B.A. course from Mumbai University, and happen to be studying some of your poems written in English. I'm certain you've heard this no less than a thousand times - probably more - but I'd like to say, I really like some of your works. Especially 'The View From Chinchpokli' Love the bit about 'the Manhattan-like Unreality of Nariman Point'
When I don't study - which is to say, most of the time - I read books, and write poems, hoping that along the way, I might just come close to discovering a Poetic moment. I was wondering, sir, whether it would be alright if I shared a few of my works with you.. I'd really appreciate any feedback you would care to give..
I look forward to reading from you!

Sincerely,

Sudeep Pagedar
