We have a book today, whose excerpt seems enlightening to us. The author is an Internet technology professional and already has a book in his kitty named ‘E-verything.com’. Rajeev Nanda is heartily welcomed at the adda with his book ‘Conversations’. Rajeev Nanda is that rare individual willing to share his cherished moments to a world gone largely cynical. Through his poems and stories, he brings back the smile on our faces, helping us look at life through the perspective of his old-world humanism. This indeed is a tour de force of realism wedded to elegant prose and lyrical poetry, says Allen Medonca, Consulting Editor, 080 magazine & explocity.com. Arthur Melzer, author and professor, says Conversations is the heartfelt chronicle of a man talking to himself – his earnest quest for answers to the basic questions of life. Looks interesting? Read below for excerpt from the author himself.
Interview with Cynthia
In India, we hear about people travelling across oceans to be with their love but very rarely we hear about people shifting to India to be with their love. Today at your Adda, we have someone special for whom love matters a lot. For someone who is not an Indian by birth, marrying an Indian and adapting to Indian Culture is not an easy decision to make. But she has done it and she is loving every bit of it. We welcome Cynthia, one of the oldest expat bloggers in India. In her interview, she shares her experiences about relocating to India, her family, her life and much more. Ready?
