An Invitation to Readers
For anyone who enjoys books, conversations, and the exchange of ideas that follows a good story, this promises to be an engaging literary gathering.
Whether you come with a well-formed interpretation, a long list of questions, or simply a curiosity about Ghachar Ghochar, this is an opportunity to spend an evening with the book — and with others who enjoy talking about books as much as reading them.

Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag
A literary conversation hosted by The News Minute and Newslaundry
Bengaluru | Third-Party Event
The News Minute and Newslaundry are hosting a book-club discussion around Ghachar Ghochar, the acclaimed novella by Kannada writer Vivek Shanbhag, translated into English by Srinath Perur.
The conversation will bring together Vivek Shanbhag and Srinath Perur, with Pooja Prasanna of The News Minute leading the discussion.
Rather than a conventional author conversation, the organisers invite readers to be part of the discussion — bringing their questions, interpretations, theories, and perspectives on the book.
About the Discussion
Ghachar Ghochar offers much to reflect upon: family, ambition, money, relationships, and the subtle ways in which changing circumstances can reshape the people closest to us.
The organisers welcome readers who have read the book as well as those who may simply be curious about it. Even if you haven’t yet read Ghachar Ghochar, the discussion offers an opportunity to listen, engage, and perhaps discover the book through the perspectives of fellow readers.

– Food or drinks worth ₹500
