Khushwant Singh Literary Fest

As soon as we arrived at the Kasauli Club for the Khushwant Singh Literary Festival, we were immediately captivated by the venue’s elegant ambiance. The first performance we attended was by the gifted musician Naviin Gandharv, whose mastery of rupak taal and a stunning composition inspired by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan left the audience spellbound. Following this, we listened to MK Ranjit Singh’s insightful talk on mountain mammals and his new book “Mountain Mammals of the World”. His perspective on nature and the ‘mega mammal myopia’ theory was particularly thought-provoking. The highlight of the day was Amit Varma’s mind-blowing presentation on ‘Evolving Forms of Creativity,’ which left us all deeply inspired. We also had the chance to get some books and were fortunate enough to get them signed by bestselling authors. Meeting MK Ranjit Singh and Sarbpreet Singh was a special opportunity that added to the richness of the experience.
Overall, the festival was an incredible and enriching experience, and we are immensely grateful to our school for providing us with this wonderful opportunity.
