A book discussion was organized on 28 December 2013 at Oxford Book Depot, New Delhi. The panel comprised of eminent persons from the field of literature- (from Left) Dr.Yashodhara Mishra, Guest Editor, Indian Literature; Dr.Mohd. Asaduddin, Head, Department of English, Jamia Milia Islamia and Shri Jawhar Sircar, Chief Executive Officer, Prasar Bharati and educationist. Here are the panelists and the author, Shubha Sarma.
The evening began with a short reading of excerpts from two stories from the book. The idea was to give the audience a flavour of the book.
This was followed by comments from the panelists. Dr.Yashodhara Mishra also played the role of the Moderator of the session. Here Dr.Asaduddin is seen making a point.
A large number of friends and well-wishers turned up for the book discussion. Scholars such as Shri Nirmal Kanti Bhattacharjee and Mr.Sreenivas Rao, Secretary of the Sahitya Akademi graced the occasion.
Thank you Allhadini for making an effort to read the book, sharing your views on it and joining us for the book discussion.

Dr.Yashodhara Mishra, Guest Editor, Indian Literature, enthralled the audience with her incisive comments.
The publisher, Mr.Mittal, and his entire team was there to lend support.
Bhaskar, Anu, Sandeep, Mrinmayee and Kausalya were all ears for the discussion. Thank you for coming and above all, giving me your honest feedback about the book.
Mr.Jawhar Sircar's wit and energy was the highlight of the day. His comments were sharp and oh so true!
During the course of the discussion, Dr.Yashodhara Mishra wanted a particular phrase from the story, The Buda. Here, we are trying to find the exact reference.
My husband, Bhaskar, in deep thought.
