[Urban-Media] Paper on Sri 420

[Shekhar Krishnan]

Here's a paper I wrote on Sri 420 many many years ago for a class with Sudipta Kaviraj. This is 
analytically and rhetorically very clouded, but might profit from responses by anyone willing to 
read it.

I have also blogged this on Goosebump Graphics, see http://goosebumpgraphics.org and add your 
comments to the Sri 420 post.

Best,


S.K.
