LOSING YOURSELF IN THE VALLEY OF WORDS

In the last few years, Literary festivals have sprouted faster than mushrooms in the rains. But the Valley of Words is one festival with a difference. Curated with care, it provides an unmatched platform to talented writers, authors and poets to share their creations.

Therefore, when I received the offer to launch by second book, the Awasthis of Aamnagri, at the next edition of the VoW, I was extremely excited. And I was not disappointed. Right from the technical team, that made it possible for the festival to be organized online, to the moderator, Ms.Madhulika, everything was picture perfect. As one would expect in beautiful Mussoorie.

It was also the 1st launch of my book and I replied to all the questions with brutal honesty. In hindsight perhaps a little bit of diplomacy might have worked better!

Here is a short recording of the book launch programme.
