Words, Horizons, Journeys, Epiphanies... A reservoir of the past, a celebration of the everyday, a harbinger of things to come... Perhaps most pointedly, the pursuit of a little thing called Bliss. From the pen and persistently frayed suitcase of Poet/ Novelist Siddharth Dasgupta.

Nov 15 FOR THE LOVE OF LUCKNOW Sanatkada Reading

Siddharth Dasgupta

NOVEMBER 2019

Given Siddharth’s father’s childhood in Lucknow, the writer has an inherited love for the city. A 50 year school reunion leads to a family affair in Lucknow, with the added deliciousness of a reading and conversation at the lovely heritage and arts space—Sanatkada. Here, Madhavi Kuckreja and Askari Naqvi welcome the writer within the city’s fold. The evening’s conversation with broadcast journalist Saira Mujtaba dwells on the pull of nostalgia, appropriate for a city that dwells mostly in the past.
