Chit Chat and Chai with Chhimi
The SAARC Women’s Association- Sri Lanka Chapter organized “Chit Chat and Chai with Chhimi” on the 29th of April 2016. Chhimi Tenduf-La of The Amazing Racist and Panther fame and Artika Bakshi, Co-Founder of The Good Book Corner and President of the SAARC Women’s Association, Sri Lanka Chapter, came together for an evening of discussion about his books.
Chhimi’s books were reviewed by The Good Book Corner in 2015, and we loved both his books.
