Join us for an evening of immersive literary experience as the launch will be followed by a discussion on the book between the author Avalok Langer, Shashi Tharoor, Honorable Member of Parliament and Seema Mustafa, Editor -in -Chief of The Citizen.
About Avalok Langer
Avalok Langer is an army kid who grew up playing hide-and-seek in tank garages. He was exposed to war and conflict at a young age and after a BA in political science from Delhi University, he began his career as a conflict journalist (or so he thought) with a prominent English TV news channel. He later joined a news magazine in Delhi and reported extensively on the Northeast. He is currently busy filming documentaries on various subjects, a good reason for him to escape Delhi, particularly during summers.
