Writers around the block
There are places which transcend mere physicality. Places where individuals can’t help but reflect about the meaning, practice and possibilities of life.
An experience of the muse invariably brings to light new potentials of individuals and collectives - part of the processes of adaptation and innovation. Sometimes empowering and sometimes humbling, the place as a muse ultimately is a grounding experience.
A place as a muse.
What is Sherlock Holmes without London, an Ashok Banker without Mumbai or a Feluda without Kolkata?
A journey into the mind of the writer. Exploring the cobbled pathways, the little deli at the corner, the vast green fields and the narrow alleys that inspire someone to pen down words that inspire generations.
The understanding of what makes a place a muse. And what mystic quality some places hold that inspire writers to explore the anima to their animus, the yin to their yang.
What is it about some places that penetrate the landscape of the mind with quiet contemplation, inspiring ideas that are born forth, from the womb of the mind.
Quiet contemplation
Join Juhi Pande as she visits cities, towns and quiet hamlets on this extraordinary journey into the mind of a writer. Follow her, as she explores the character of a place, through the words penned down in books we all love and cherish.
See the stories of cities in turmoil becoming fertile hunting ground for novelists because they offer scope to detail and document the changing social landscape.
And how some places become a permanent abode to some writers, only because they resist the change offered up by chaos and turmoil.
All cities have a soul, and the Gita says, a soul can never be destroyed.
