“A book truly comes alive when it meets its readers.”

I had the privilege of having an extremely cultured and thoughtful audience at the ICG, Dona Paula, North Goa, on Saturday, the 26th of September. The audience didn’t just attend; they were fully present, deeply engaged, and brought thoughtful vulnerability to the conversation. From the quiet stillness during the reading to the insightful exchange during the Q&A, a simple book presentation turned into a deep, shared dialogue about truth and substance, and for that, my heart is overflowing. I have added a couple of posts and handwritten notes by our esteemed audience. The handwritten note is from an author and entrepreneur, Mimi Menezes, who possesses a mind as sharp as steel and a wit that illuminates every room, balanced effortlessly by a boundless generosity of spirit.
I would like to thank all my audience, as well as my readers, for the priceless gift of their time and presence. I thank Rahul Chadawarkar for being the moderator of the event and beautifully balancing the Q&A session, and Shobhana Chandawarkar for all the beautiful pictures and for capturing the tender moments in the photographs. I hope you all enjoy going through the memories and be blessed.
