Mysuru has always been known for literary works and it has produced giants of the likes of Kuvempu and R.K. Narayan. Their works are classics now and millions of copies are sold even today. But none of their books were ever launched. ‘Book launch’ is a recent concept and our city is also catching up. The ‘conversations’ Senior Journalist N. Niranjan Nikam did with Morvarid Fernandez, who has penned “‘Seasoned’ for Family and Friends” is one such attempt. The book was launched recently at the MRC Club House and the event was organised by International Books, Arts and Culture.
Morvarid spoke candidly about her upbringing, love for Mysuru, her famous parents Farookh Irani and Sheila Irani of the Jawa Factory fame, her farm in Belgaum and a few recipes.
