Author hosts book reading session for underprivileged kids

Indian author, journalist, and creative entrepreneur based in Dubai, UAE, Purva Grover came back home in Chandigarh on special book tour to promote her book. The book marks her fourth literary work and was officially launched in Chandigarh, the city where her literary and journalistic journey first began. Born in Chandigarh, Purva is an alumna of Panjab University, and spent the early years of her career working with leading publications.
On her recent visit to Chandigarh, she connected with young readers and writers through a series of signings, readings, and creative writing workshops across the city.
As part of the Chandigarh leg of her tour, she also visited Ankur School, Panjab University, book shops and other literary hubs. She also conducted a special storytelling and writing session with the girls at KitabGhar, Bapudham Colony an initiative run by the NGO Yuvsatta.
“Chandigarh is home in more ways than one—it is where I learned about love, life, loss, and living. It’s a place that lives in my heart, and I am grateful to get this chance to rewind and share my stories here,” said Grover.

The book addresses the topical issue of writing habits in the age of social media. She said, “Reading today is often ‘snackable’—words consumed in bite-sized pieces as we wait for a cab, brew a coffee, or scroll between meetings. This book aims to record this shift, offering honest, introspective, and screenshot-worthy thoughts that mirror the emotions we sometimes forget to feel. It’s not a guidebook, but a gentle reminder to pause and reflect.”
With previous titles Grover offers thought-provoking takes on womanhood, memory, and the human experience.
