Given what unfolded last year, it would be almost impossible to encounter a human being who has not experienced loss and grief. In his book Loss (HarperCollins India) that was released last year, Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi confronts this void, drawing from the loss of his parents and pet.  In a session titled The Power of Prose: Writing and Healing in the Time of COVID, hosted on the platform Avid Learning, Shanghvi will delve into writing as catharsis and the finer details of such work of non-fiction. 

Edited excerpts from the interview.
