I truly believe that knowledge should be shared generously, and I appreciate your efforts in making that happen. Let's cherish #BrewingKnowledge and share the wealth with others."

Meet and Greet

We love Meet-and-Greets with authors; last week, we hosted Karan Madhok, who was promoting his latest book, Ananda.

Besides the factual and eye-opening research into every aspect of the narcotic, the author contemplates the concepts of freedom, creativity, spirituality, and paranoia associated with the drug and examines the upsides and problems of decriminalizing ganja in India. Ananda, the first significant study of cannabis in India, is entertaining and enlightening. It is the perfect introduction to an integral aspect of the country that has often gotten a bad rap and is imperfectly understood.

Karan Madhok's Debut novel, A Beautiful Decay, was published in 2022. His creative work and journalism have appeared in Epiphany, Sycamore Review, Bombay Review, Slam magazine, Fifty Two, The Caravan, and Scroll, among other places.
