Release of Dr. Neera Desai’s book
On 28th January 2010, the launch function was held at Crossword, Linking Road along with Pen India to introduce the book to the public. BEING CARRIED FAR AWAY is the second in the series of five volumes to be published by SPARROW supported by Prince Claus Fund. This volume is a literary journey into Assam, Bengal, Manipur, Meghalaya and Mizoram. The book teaches that one’s geography lessons are never complete, not to talk of one’s knowledge of Indian literature. It is not just a matter of learning about unknown flowers, trees, food and dresses. It is also about the people and the languages that emerge from these surroundings. The experiences narrated in the interviews and the poems and stories become a gallery of paintings of still life, nature and portraits drawn with dexterity in exquisite colours that begin to invade one’s mind as one goes along. Dr. Mitra Mukherjee Parekh (Post-graduate Department of English, S N D T Women’s University) released the book. SPARROW’s Founder Trustee and Director, Dr. C S Lakshmi, made a presentation on SPARROW and the editor, Shoba Ghosh, gave a talk on her experiences of editing the volume. Malsawmi Jacob, one of the writers from Mizoram and also working in SPARROW, read her poems. We give a few photographs below taken by Priya D’Souza.
