News Desk, News Nation 360 : Sonali's Cubo proudly presented an enriching and captivating evening, the "Literary Rendezvous," in association with The Bhawanipur House. The event featured renowned author and journalist Sreemoyee Piu Kundu in an engaging conversation with Vayjayanti Saharia Pugalia. Literary enthusiasts, journalists, mental health advocates, and members of the general public observed the discussion and were encouraged to participate to help de-stigmatize mental health issues and silence. Renowned author Sreemoyee Piu Kundu, known for her thought-provoking tales and vivid storytelling, offered excerpts from her most recent memoir, "Everything Changes." This gripping memoir explores taboo subjects like mental health and the stigma associated with suicide while also offering commentary on Indian society and the author's personal experiences. The "Literary Rendezvous" sought to honour the bravery of people like Sreemoyee Piu Kundu, who, by her candour and audacity, as well as curators like Vayjayanti, have pushed the conversation about positive mindfulness into the public eye and fostered empathy and support for those facing comparable difficulties. Vayjayanti Saharia Pugalia, the creator of Sonali's Cubo and the world record holder for creating creative conference lineups, had a thought-provoking interview with the writer during the discussion. By bringing attention to the difficulties people face in today's fast-paced world—where the chase of success frequently ignores the significance of introspection and open discussions within personal circles for mental strength and stability—Vayjayanti also brought forth her narrative. The event also sought to honour the craft of storytelling, the influence of journalism on public discourse, and the complex interactions between modern literature and narratives, especially as they relate to interpersonal relationships and mental health awareness.
