Speaking on the occasion Vivek Atray related some of the anecdotes from real life situations that have been included in the book based on the middles published in various newspapers over the years.
A writer has to become more observant, present in the moment, and humane to empathise with the situations and cull out the best positive aspects of life, he said.
Writing had been a passion and every moment inspires him and enjoy the lighter sides of the moment as the “life happens”, he added.
“Middles are a joy to write, as they present flavours to savour and they should ideally elicit either a smile or a tear,” Vivek remarked.
Views Literary Club at Emaar in Sector 105 had been the result of post-Covid era when the love for reading arose, and the residents contributed books that they had already read and shared it in the library that was established in their Club House in 2021, and had been organising activities to encourage reading, and have interaction with the authors, informed VOWA President H.S. Grewal
