There are yet other journeys that we would like to make but are unable to, that exist powerfully in the mind, day after day, month after month. Until Jehangir Bejan Tata died in San Francisco in 2013, he had been making one such journey for the last sixty-odd years when he was back in Shanghai, admiring the clean art deco lines of a home he left in 1952but which had never left his mind. Bir Bahadur Singh, haunted by a similar longing, who left Pakistan during Partition, could actually makethe journey back, fifty-four years later, to pick up the connections fromthat long past time.In Travelling In, Travelling Out: A Book of Unexpected Journeys eminentwriter Namita Gokhale puts together an eclectic collection of twentyfivestories that take the reader on a journey that is surprising, moving and, sometimes, mischievous. From Advaita Kala’s piece on her reaction to an intrusive security pat-down to finding one’s identity as an immigrant in Amsterdam in an essay by Ali Sethi, there is a wide range of experiences to choose from. With contributors like M.J. Akbar,Rahul Pandita, Dayanita Singh, Urvashi Butalia and others among the guides, the reader can expect an unusual journey, one without the fear, moreover, of getting lost. https://harpercollins.co.in/product/travelling-in-travelling-out-a-book-of-unexpected-journeys ER -
