Scope of the event:

Literature has always been a medium for catharsis and it finds its way to convey a million thoughts to a million minds. During times of crisis, literature plays a vital role in unsheathing the sublime essence of creativity encased with the grief, struggle, confusion and death that torments the world. Influence of the psychology of a society and an era is omniscient in Art and Literature. A novel onset of ideas and thoughts are conceived and pondered, retaining the ability to mold the literary form at its wake. Literary works which arise from depths of emotions, flourish with philosophies regarding the nature of life, and hence explores every author’s narrative on the same, irrespective of the cultural origins. Through such times of channeling inner passion, authors across the world have drawn their conclusions about the human race and questioned the multiple phases of morality of the society and the unsolved mystery of human nature.
