They discussed their best-selling books, ‘ In the Shadows of the Pines’, The Patiala Quartet, Sikhs, The Rainbow Acres and Burning Bright.

The authors shared their life and school experiences, the inspirations behind their books and also encouraged children to indulge themselves in literary activities.

STAGE PLAY ‘AMMI’
The book review session was followed by a famous play ’AMMI’ which was a theatre presentation staged by iconic Indian Punjabi film and television actress Madam Nirmal Rishi, Old Yadavindrians, and the faculty of YPS. The play’s cast included Nirmal Rishi, Manpal Tiwana, Dr. Mona Gurkiran Kaur, Dr. Uadypreet Sidhu, Neetu Chopra, Prof Sukhpal Singh, Dr. Sabreena, Surbhi, Sivinder Bajaj and Angad Tiwana. The play was directed by Manpal Tiwana and written by Nirmal Rishi and Neena Tiwana. The story revolved around the sad reality of today’s times about how some children abandon their parents at old age. The idea was to spread the message about the value of AMMI (mother) and old parents in a child’s life and that one should always respect them.
