Mridula Garg at book launch event of Shruti Sonal's "In which language do I remember you?"

Mridula Garg released Shruti Sonal's "In which language do I remember you?" We see that a good writer's speech contains many philosophical statements that he or she unknowingly makes. Mridula Ji gave an address at the event, and here I am highlighting some of her statements that make one to think upon.

• Grief is more enduring than love.

• Memory has no language.

• After all, what is life but memories?

• When you love someone, that shows you’re a good person. Also, you empathize with others.

• In grief and in love, you’re alone. And when you’re alone, you connect with yourself more deeply.

• Writing helps you conquer your grief.

• Grief is something that remains with you forever.

• Memory is a very treacherous thing; it doesn’t leave you anywhere. It is like everything passes, but nothing passes.

• Grief encompasses all the things, including pleasant moments and horror moments as well.

• Motherhood is not only about caring for children but also about caring for everything.

This event of book launch was conducted on 29-02-24.
