Bihar: Authors, scholars come together

PATNA: The second day of ‘Ahad Anhad’, a festival of words and performances, held at Bihar Museum on Saturday saw 12 sessions by celebrated authors and intellectuals around a diverse range of topics, including the secret lives of Bollywood stars and Bihar’s literature.

The festival, being held in collaboration with NAVRAS School of Performing Arts and the Institute for Human Development, saw literature enthusiasts asking questions to the panellists after each session.

“This festival aims to bring together unique insights from scholars, writers and artists in the rather illusive quest to find hope and renewal,” said festival director Sujata Prasad.

Throughout the festival, various authors shared their experiences and ideas. Usha Kiran Khan, a Hindi and Maithili writer, offered the audience a glimpse of life that transcends time and views ordinary life through an extraordinary perspective during the session, ‘Her Life Story’.
