Continental drift
Puneetinder Kaur Sidhu has an engaging personality and a zest for life. Both are reflected in her book, Adrift: A Junket Junkie in Europe, which I have just reviewed. I had fun going on this journey with this intrepid traveller who studied at Yadavindra Public School, Patiala, and has a Shimla connection.

Aditya Arya studied History but followed his passion of photography and made a career of it. A legacy bestowed upon him by his uncle, a Press photographer called Kulwant Roy, has given Aditya the opportunity to combine both in documenting the rare archival photographs that Roy had left with him.
It took long years, but the result is spectacular. An exhibition that has been well received at various international destinations…. A really exclusive book, a limited edition that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh gifted to President Barak Obama…and this book, which I reviewed, that has the PM’s Foreword and significant photographs of India in its younger days.
