On August 9th, National Book Lovers Day, we celebrate the joy of reading and the beauty of books.
The story follows the life of Gogol Ganguli, a first-generation Indian American who grapples with his cultural heritage while trying to find his place in the world. The novel beautifully captures the complexities of family, love, and the search for identity, making it a poignant and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in exploring the nuances of multiculturalism and personal growth.
As Rema read an excerpt from the novel, her colleague Ramandeep joined her and brought the scene to life by acting out the character preparing a recipe that evoked memories of home.
When we read a book, we not only engage our minds but also our imagination. When we act out a scene, we become the characters, feel their emotions, and experience the storyline in a more personal and interactive way.
Whether you prefer to get lost in a captivating novel, learn something new from a non-fiction book, or indulge in the magic of poetry, there’s something special about the connection between a reader and a book. What’s your favorite book?
