So, without further ado, raise the roof for our first guest— Aanchal Malhotra. We are thrilled to be kicking off the ‘IAM’ (if you will ) series with this renowned author and oral historian. An impressive resume, to say the least, Aanchal has penned some of the most critically acclaimed works — from her debut project, ‘Remnants Of Partition’ to her latest novel, ‘The Book Of Everlasting Things’. Aanchal is also one of the founding members of the Museum Of The Material — a crowd-sourced digital repository that helps discern family histories through heirlooms and antiques. Catch her in a fun Q /A session with Nykaa in the video below. Watch this space for more ‘In A Minute’ content.
