BOOK LAUNCH - Log Jo Mujhmein Rah Gaye by Anuradha Beniwal. Pub. Rajkamal Prakashan. Anuradha Beniwal’s “ Log Jo Mujh Mein Rah Gaye” is a travelogue with a difference. Her nomadic wanderings are a brush with a world of diverse people, beliefs , cultures and histories. Assimilating her experience in an engaging and thought provoking narrative ; it is a self discovery of the resonance and connect with people however different and far removed they may appear at first glance, there is a commonality of shared emotions and there exist shades of them in her( and us) . A spirited encore to her first book “ Azadi is my Brand”, this one is a call for freedom as well: A call for freedom from stereotypical conditioning and mindsets. A call for inclusivity and acceptance.
