The Hindi literature festival Shabdotsav(literal translation word festival) this weekend brought together intellectuals, artists, and singers…

met with Jaya ji, the curator who has remained the same in body, mind, and spirit in the last decade or so likely due to her spiritual devotion.

Her work with Indian prisoners, especially in Tihar Jail, Delhi, has been remarkable and commendable 👏👏👏

The shankh (conch shell) behind us and other musical instruments displayed in the well curated event, all represent the primordial sound that has given birth to all words (shabds).
