💨 Abstract

Amitava Kumar's "The Green Book" is an observer's notebook and a call to write, featuring sketches and photographs. At the book launch, Kumar emphasized the importance of writing what one sees and shared humdrum notes that tell a compelling story. He also discussed the diaries of famous authors and journalists, including Shiva Naipaul, who wrote about the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in India.
