Literature Carnival
In our hectic lives, we seldom get a chance to stop by and appreciate the finer elements of life, the gift of creativity-the art forms that mankind has nurtured over centuries. Literature Carnival is a celebration of one such art forms—creative writing and storytelling. The three hour program has been carefully structured to discuss and debate specifics of Literature, Creative Writing and Books, and entertain through storytelling performances. It is an evening to enjoy Literature, assimilate views from speakers and sink in the nuances of a finer life.
Readomania and The Literature Corner is organizing a Literature Carnival in one of the luxury malls in Delhi, The Gallery on MG. The program is slated for 28-December, 2015, starting at 4 PM. It is a three hour long program with discussion, debates and storytelling sessions.
