About the book:
TO REDISCOVERING THE POWER OF YOU: WHY FAILURE IS CRUCIAL TO GROW
Chances are that the more you strive to do, at some point, you will stumble. The more you push yourself beyond your comfort zone, you will at some point fail or fall. And that’s ok. But the ability to win begins with you and that’s when you have to deep dive within to find that power. Remember it is not failure that defines you but what you do with it.
Come, join us for a conversation exploring Failure in all its glory.
Based on the bestselling ‘Why I Failed’, we decode failure and how it can inspire us, help us make better choices, toughen us up to embark on our next journey.
–We will talk about people who have failed and what they decided to do with it
–What can you do when you face a setback or a failure
–How do you find that power and strength within to take the next step

Book Launch: The Kipling File. By Sudhir Kakar
Overview
In the cultural hub of 1880s’ Lahore Kay Robinson has taken over as editor of the Civil and Military Gazette. Assisting him is the young and impressionable Rudyard Kipling, a lonely, impulsive man who dreams of becoming a writer. Kipling’s literary pursuits have been dismissed as fanciful and foolish by his previous boss. But Robinson is different. He encourages the young ‘Ruddy’, allowing him greater creative freedom at the Gazette. As he becomes Ruddy’s friend and confidant, Robinson gains access to intimate glimpses of the Kipling family, where he is smitten by Ruddy’s sister Trix.
Narrated by Robinson, The Kipling File is a moving story of doomed friendship and difficult love recounted against the powerful backdrop of Anglo-Indian life in a Punjab that has begun to stir with anti-colonial sentiment. Through his eyes unfold the turmoils that shaped the author of beloved classics like The Jungle Book and Kim.
In Sudhir Kakar’s luminous prose, Kipling emerges as a man of compelling contradictions-a mercurial genius whose immense talent was in pitched battle with his inner demons.
