Her simple yet profound stories in books like How I Taught My Grandmother to Read, The Magic of the Lost Temple, and Grandma’s Bag of Stories are based on folklore and life wisdom showing nature and human beings belonging to a common ecosystem.
Murty will also introduce the session, Poems from the Sikh Tradition, where Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh will be in conversation with Navtej Sarna.
