BOOK OF THE MONTH - FEBRUARY 2025

 

BOOK OFTHE MONTH 

Poetry Evenings at Nehru Centre Library _ Saturday 15th February, 2025

 There’s an undeniable kind of depth, blessedness and healing in Ketaki Mazumdar’s poetry. Her poems get under your skin and stir up dormant emotions of love, yearning, spirituality, awe and the mystical. She treads a magical and ancient path, hidden deep in each one of us. Her poems are evocative, contemplative, superbly visual and a healing gift of surprise, beauty and gentle hope.

It was a blissful evening to have her in conversation @NehruCentreLibrary with Urna Bose – an award-winning advertising professional, writer, poet, editor and reviewer. An almost full house with a mixed crowd of school students, adults and senior citizens gave an added sense of fulfillment.

It was heartening to see the students queueing up to take autographs of both the eminent poets –Ketaki and Urna.

Library Visit - Shishu Vihar School, Mumbai

 

When kids visit our Library on a field trip, we are truly elated. Talking to them about the wonders of reading is so heartening, specially when they are all ears. We had this group of bright young and curious students from Grade Sr. Kg of Shishu Vihar School, to learn about the diverse genres of the books available in a library and to get an orientation about our services. This is a great initiative by some schools. Hope more will follow!

Book talk and reading _February 01, 2025

 

In today's day and age, we are bogged down by body shaming, mental illness and societal barbs about how we look or are.

So, it was heartening to have Ms Vinitha and six authors of the book 'Hug Yourself: Body Positivity and Empowerment Stories for Teenagers' at the Nehru Centre Library to talk about their journey and read from their stories. After hearing all of them, we all went back feeling much better about ourselves and a feeling of positivity enveloped us.

Thank you Ms Swagata Mody for moderating the discussion.
