A new era of Indian writing in English has arrived!

 Most reviewers across the world have given a thumbs up to Anjali Josephs "Saraswati Park." As famed author Siddharth dhanvant Sanghavi spoke of this book " as not necessarily about the grand india of rajas and maharajas, but a more real, humble book about the daily lives and emotions of India" Anjali soaked in all the good wishes. She read excerpts sincerely from the book; and acknowledged that her book was not about any big idea...it was just a mirror of daily life.

Parallels were drawn to many authors who just reflected what they saw around them beautifully through their writing, such as a Jane Austen or even a Somerset Maugham. Sanghavi also said that the simple brilliance of the writing could be compared to an RK Narayan.

All in all, a very intellectual evening attended by senior members of Indian media and also by cheerful couple Pravina and Jamal Mecklai.
