My second collection of Short stories, बेजोड़ःकुछ उम्मीदें कुछ उलझनें and its English translation, Unmatched: Hopes and Dilemmas, was launched on 28th February 2025, at the India International Centre, Delhi. The session was moderated by writer, educator, and poetess Meeta Wadhva Sengupta. Author and poetess Suman Keshri celebrated the power of storytelling with her dramatic reading of Kala Sandook, one of the stories from the collection. The book has been published by Books etc publication.

Mood on the stage

Writer, translator and educator Saba Bashir set the ball rolling by introducing the book and the panel in her inimitable and impressive way.
