Fellow writers, artists and friends gathered for the release of author Sudeep Chakravarti’s latest book, Once upon a time in Aparanta.
The heavy downpour couldn’t keep the people away from Gallery Gitanjali, Panaji. The book draws inspiration from Goa’s political and social upheavals.

Also enjoying the evening were wildlife photographers Nirmal Kulkarni and wife Assavri. Artist Theodore Mesquita was seen talking to the writer.
