Chandigarh’s young Mayor Mr. Saurabh Joshi, on Sunday released the debut book “East Direction” written by 19-year-old Prachi Sharma, a first-year BA student of Chitkara University. The book launch ceremony was held at Hotel Park Grand, Sector 43, Chandigarh.
On the occasion, Mayor Saurabh Joshi congratulated Prachi Sharma and her parents and appreciated the young author’s first literary effort. He said that choosing mental health as the theme of her book is commendable and expressed hope that Prachi would continue to nurture her writing skills in the future.
Speaking at the occasion, Prachi Sharma said she chose mental health as the subject of her book because the thoughts and emotions she experienced during her recovery after a surgery following an accident inspired her to put her feelings into words, which eventually took the form of a book.
The Mayor also spoke about the changing social scenario, stating that there was a time when families shared meaningful conversations, but today, even when sitting together under one roof, everyone remains busy with mobile phones, leading to a lack of communication.
