Fireside Chat with Dhara Parekh

On March 21st, members of the url community came together to discuss a short story "Allonsy!", written by Dhara Parekh from her short story collection "Take a Seat at the Cosmic Campfire."

The discussion spanned across themes of feminism, loneliness and even cooking under the umbrella of the science fiction sub genre of time travel. Dhara's answers fascinated everyone and encouraged the audience to delve into more sci-fi sub genres within the literary landscape.

The event was a spectacle of the friendship and warmth that stories can bring us.

I love organizing events and this one was special. It combined my love for literature, science fiction with friends I have collected over the years. A cosmic coming together of people across time zones to do something that humans have done for millions of years - tell a story over a fire.
