Writers exchange ideas at Roli Books Writer's Retreat, Mussourie

Living in an interesting age as ours cultivates remarkable perspectives. Sharing some of these perspectives were the finest minds of contemporary India. The occasion was the writer's retreat of organised by the publishing house of Roli Books. Relaxed and informal at the retreat in Mussourie, the guests exchanged ideas on history, culture, politics, education, governance, literature, religion, ecology, sociology, media, defence and popular culture.

The Savoy in Mussoorie must be the only hotel, apart from the Raffles in Singapore, to have a thing about writers. While at the Raffles Somerset Maugham sipped Singapore slings, the Savoy's bar was Kipling's favourite watering hole. So, it was quite a kismet when publisher Pramod Kapoor of Roli Books and author Namita Gokhale, who has an imprint with him, hosted the Ruskin Bond Festschrift - a Writers' Retreat in honour of that gentle Indian Roald Dahl, Ruskin Bond. Festschrift means an offering to a Master, and the Writer's Bar in Mussoorie where the first session was held had the phantom odours of vellum and old tales. On the wall, mounted plates proclaim the famous drinkers who once sipped there - Pearl Buck, Jim Corbett, Stephen Alter - prompting some to grumble about the absence of famous names at the conclave.
