Library Love - You and nine other will get an online conversation around writing by Arundhathi

A conversation about writing on the life of a spiritual seeker with Arundhathi Subramaniam.

I am offering you and nine others an online conversation around writing on the life of a spiritual seeker for a donation of INR 3000 each to FLN.

We will have a deep conversation around writing on the life of the spiritual seeker — the challenges and possible ways to navigate those.

This will be via online video chat, with up to 10 participants, for around 90 minutes on a Saturday in April.
