Belletristic Shoolini Literature Society held a discussion on the book ‘To Skies and Waters’. The author, Sirjan Ubha, talked about the book, her journey as a writer, and the reception her work has received over the last few years. Her book ‘To Skies and Waters’ was shortlisted for the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar 2022. The session was moderated by Dr. Navreet Sahi who was in conversation with the author. Dr. Purnima Bali opened the session and introduced the panelists to the audience.
To Skies and Waters is the story of a young girl Aveera and how she overcomes depression and discovers her true self. The book in focus is autobiographical to some extent and highlights the oft-neglected issue of mental health and self-love. Sirjan mentioned that she hails from a family of writers and that has contributed to a great extent to her creative writing journey.
