What a charming story! I'm not surprised to hear your students didn’t want to stop discussing literature when your course was done. I bet you were a wonderful lecturer. I'm also glad to read your group met in Mumbai. The news is so bad out of India this morning, (see Sangeeta Kalsi's story) that I need to hear it isn't like that everywhere in India. I agree that reading about other people's lives brings comfort and understanding to our own. And doing it in a group is even better! Thank you for this story. We need to remember that in addition to pain and horror, there is joy and light that exists in every country and every people worldwide.
