Travelling In Travelling Out : A Book of Unexpected Journeys
https://www.midlandbookshop.com/s/607fe93d7eafcac1f2c73ea4/60ba3f4e4fdecc75738ac9fe/9789350291450.jpg
We travel all the time from place to place thought to thought. There
are yet other journeys that we would like to make but are unable to
that exist powerfully in the mind day after day month after month.
Until Jehangir Bejan Tata died in San Francisco in 2013 he had been
making one such journey for the last sixty-odd years when he was back
in Shanghai admiring the clean art deco lines of a home he left in 1952
but which had never left his mind. Bir Bahadur Singh haunted by a
similar longing who left Pakistan during Partition could actually make
the journey back fifty-four years later to pick up the connections from
that long past time.
In Travelling In Travelling Out: A Book of Unexpected Journeys eminent
writer Namita Gokhale puts together an eclectic collection of twentyfive
stories that take the reader on a journey that is surprising moving
and sometimes mischievous. From Advaita Kala's piece on her reaction
to an intrusive security pat-down to finding one's identity as an
immigrant in Amsterdam in an essay by Ali Sethi there is a wide range
of experiences to choose from. With contributors like M.J. Akbar
Rahul Pandita Dayanita Singh Urvashi Butalia and others among the
guides the reader can expect an unusual journey one without the fear
moreover of getting lost.
