talks & more

You'll probably agree that arts, communication, talks, habits... as we know, are changing, and so is writing and reading. Yet, the fact remains that words are not just a simple medium that gives millions of ways to say the same thing. It is not just a mere subject. It explores everything, holding the sheer capacity to build the future, the minds, it, in other words, shapes civilizations.

​

​

Never stop to explore the various forums to reach out to others, to use words and arts to make a difference, to bring a change, to start a conversation, and more.

What is it? We just wrap books in paper/newspaper to hide their covers — hence the "blind date" — and decorate the wrapping with quotes, art, or the books' first lines. And everyone picks a book without knowing what is in there, discovering something new they could dislike or love! We had fun.

I love talking about books, sharing stories and meeting up with readers. It was lovely to be the author of the month, July 2022 at The Festival Plaza Book Club hosted by Dubai Festival Plaza.
