About the Book I am here. I know she is here too. Earlier this evening, Mathura had asked whether it was a daura. I like the word, it is the right word, it means both a tour and a bout of madness. Perhaps this is both. But, no, after coming here, I feel the certainty of her presence. The dream is real, there is no other reality. Everything else is a dream, seen in the somnambulist state I have lived in for so long. I am awake now. I am going to meet her tonight, under the finely etched moon of the fourth night of Shravan.
