“To bring the people out of the feelings of fatigue that they are experiencing & psychological strain i though of of organizing this event. I am sure this phase shall pass too & once it passes the feelings of discondency will leave. This is something new for the people who love literature & also for those who do not as we all will leave with a learning experience. I wanted people to avoid a drift into a state of feeling very low & lonely, which why i thought this would be of some help & this was the best way to utilize the time”, said Chauhan.
