Cities are shaped not only by their buildings, but by the conversations they make possible.
Through Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest, Anil Dharker gave Mumbai a space where ideas could meet, disagree, wander, and grow.
Five years since his passing, those conversations continue.
In every session, every spirited debate, and every new voice on stage, his legacy lives on.
Miss you Mr. D!

Some poems refuse to remain in their own century, continuing their journey through new languages and new listeners.
For generations, the verses of Akho and Vasto have lived in the inner landscape of Gujarati culture. In this long-awaited volume, Gieve Patel (1940–2023) reimagines their poetry in English with great care and sensitivity.
Join us for the book’s launch with Arundhathi Subramaniam, Kamal Vora, and Naushil Mehta, with readings by Avaan Patel and Shernaz Patel.
Date: 8 April 2026
Time: 6:30 PM
Venue: Little Theatre, NCPA
