I always wanted to be a writer as this is my first love,” says a young author Shweta Brijpuriya. The literature enthusiasts had a great Sunday as they unfolded the stories of seven enthusiastic youngsters while witnessing the book recital of Dark White and met the author in ‘Meet The Author’ held at Swami Vivekananda library on Sunday. A book reading session ‘Meet the Author’ was organised for the literature lovers of the city at Swami Vivekananda library on Sunday.
Before the discussion and the book recital, the theatre artiste Rahul and a medical student lalima staged two scenes from the book. These scenes included the description of a hospital and a police station. The book tells the story of seven friends, who have few motives of life and they have set rules to accompalish them. But as they move on to fulfill these aims, they face troubles. Rules are made to keep integrity of a game, but Dark White finds the loopholes. Karma is decided as one fights inner fears. These fears provoke minds to overtake the reason to exist and turn basics of the game.
