This Sunday at The Goa Project
Sessions, we’ll take a close look at a long-departed Jaipur ruler’s chhatri (and legacy) and argue for a place for books in a short-attention-span era.
==========
Aparna is a curator at the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum, City Palace, Jaipur. Specialising in art and architecture of early modern India, she has two master's degrees: Art in the Global Middle Ages (MSc, University of Edinburgh, Sep 2017), and Arts and Aesthetics (MA, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, May 2012). In Bombay, she has worked on independent archiving projects, made an audio guide, and taught and co-ordinated a liberal arts programme for undergraduates at ISDI-Parson's Mumbai. Aparna contributes to various publications, enjoys photography, and works to fund her book-buying and travel addiction.
Mohit conceptualised City Book Leaders almost two years ago as a pure passion to chase his love to read books and feed his craving to know more about various subjects. He often lends his strategic expertise to few starts ups in the field of learning and education. To follow his path of conservation, he drives an electric car, bathes with half a bucket, and uses minimum lighting and air-conditioning throughout the day.

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: The Goa Project Sessions. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email…
Come, hang out with the TGP gang over fantastic mini-talks and extended discussions that span the essentialist to the existentialist.
Dear TGPian,
We hope you had a happy, peaceful Christmas. And we wish all of you the very best for 2021.
In the new year, we’re starting out with a slightly tweaked version of TGP Sessions; Season Two, if you will, which will start on 17th January.
But before that, we thought it would be worth our time to devote one Sunday’s sessions, the 3rd January, to looking back at 2020.
==========
It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.
==========
This time in 2019, no futurist, soothsayer or podcaster could have predicted how much 2020 would change our lives: how we would understand and relate to our homes and families, our work and offices, the outdoors, transport, travel, even just survival.
The year is over now, almost, but the changes we’ve lived through look like they are going to be part of our lives for the near future at least. So we thought it would be a good moment to stop and reflect on how 2020 has changed all of us, through experiences good and bad.
This Sunday’s session is an open house for the TGP community, devoted to your answers to these questions:
• What is one unexpected thing that happened to me in 2020 that changed me?
• What is one thing I knew was going to happen in 2020 that changed me?
• How did I surprise myself in 2020?
• How did the world surprise me in 2020?
If you’d like to speak on any of these topics (up to two minutes each), please write to thetgpsessions@gmail.com with “TGP Sessions” as the subject line.
