Anjum Rajabali

The Gujarat Literature Festival is one of the better programmed and organised litfests that I’ve attended. The speakers were chosen from a wide spectrum of interesting personalities, and that reflected in the quality of the discourse there. In spite of being a fledgling event, it was well organised with a very courteous and efficient team of hosts and volunteers. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in it and look forward to coming back.

Wonderful experience. It’s a modern day initiative. GLF is not just a literature festival it is a Youth Festival. A carnival… a Literature Carnival. GLF has set a trend and others would definitely copy this new initiative.
It’s a place where we the speakers get a chance to talk with 1000’s of people with various new and interesting topics and also enhance our knowledge and understand all new definitions of Literature.

My GLF experience was extremely rewarding and refreshing. A good platform to meet various new and renowned authors & writers. A platform where we can interact with the young generation and enjoy. It is a platform for all to showcase their talent of literature. GLF gives the feeling of MORE THE MERRIER. A must happen event in Gujarat every year.

It’s a vibrant event. The major success of the event is how they connect to youth, it provides them with a stage to connect to the literature and sensitise them towards it. Academics doesn’t realise the literature that lies in screenplays, films and plays and theatre and if we talk about films, the world’s literature today majorly lies in that sector; that is where my interest in GLF lies as it recognises art and films as literature and has provided a bigger spectrum to literature, which according to me are its greatest achievements. Also, it is a consistent event and is near to my heart so I always look forward to being a part of it and plan my schedule accordingly. Kudos to the team!

Cutting (birthday) cake does not deprive us of our culture , nor speaking English does. If Swami Vivekanand had not spoken in English about Hinduism and India in US all those year ago, the world would never have known the beauty of our civilization and culture.

Rejection is like Agnipariksha.Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was rejected 12 times by publishers;Gone with the Wind-18 times ; Stephen king’s first thriller Carrie was rejected 30 times; Chicken Soup for the soul was rejected 33 times.If these people can be rejected so many times,I thought my rejection was not a big deal.In fact I started thinking I am going to be bigger than them because I have been rejected more number of times.
