Launching 'An Autumn Melody' and 'Stephanian Spice'- 9/9/11.....

Its been a while since I've blogged so this is just one to check out if I still remember how to.

Lots has happpened in the last couple of months, but the real highlight would just have to be the release of my third book 'An Autumn Melody'. The book has been published by Rupa publications and was launched at the India International Centre, New Delhi on the 9th of Sep, 2011.

It was a great evening, made even better by the fact that I was surrounded by family and friends -from school, college, Mass communications and even those very recent ones.These are the moments that one learans to treasure in life, that of being with people who care about one and those who will make it a point to be here to share all those special moments in one's life.






But the launch of the book was not the only good thing that happened that evening for it was a 'two in one treat', certainly for me and hopefully for all those present there.We also launched 'Stephanian Spice' a newsletter for St Stephens (college) old students worldwide.This is a newsletter that I'm editing and have a team of three co-editors,Nalin Sharma, Urvi Sukul Singh and Amardeep Singh  along with a Guest editor/consultant, the veteran journalist and documentary film maker, John Dayal who have made the impossible happen! The design and Layout of the newsletter have been done by my daughter Neha and some might say that its the icing on the cake!So effectively, we  now have a bi-monthly online n/l to be able to share our thoughts, ideas poems, photographs with old college mates, some of whom we havent met or spoken to for decades! Topping that would be the fact that one gets to know and learn about people who one hasn't ever met  and (sadly) not likely to, either...

I think that this is enough for this post, so I'm going to close, but am very happy to be sharing some pics of that evening with you...
