Three Things to do today in Bengaluru

Intriguing read
Join in for the launch of “General’s Jottings,” the first book written by former Army Commander, Lt Gen KJ Singh. The book is a curated compilation of the noted columnist and would serve as a handy primer and ready reference on national security and geopolitics. It covers contemporary strategic issues like the standoff on the Sino-Indian border, the proxy war in J&K, and other insurgencies. Very well illustrated with maps, graphs, and tables, it also has interesting compilations like the one on Khaki-Generals, mapping idiosyncrasies of Pakistani top brass. Where: RSAOI–Moksha Auditorium, MG Road; When: November 8, 6 pm

Mythological tale
Watch ‘Atho Hidimba Kotha,’ a creation that started as a response to a comment by a public figure that women must not engage themselves in “men’s work” to avoid acquiring the quality of a Rakshasa (demon). Reaching “Atho Hidimba Kotha” from the story of Rakshasi Hidimba from the Mahabharata was a constant search of many search questions. It is a new narrative, a story of the defeated, dispossessed that the epics refuse to include. Where: Ranga Shankara, JP Nagar When: November 8, 7:30 pm
