Literature awakens the desire of love, fame, family, intellectual, prosperity in man, literature is the expression of human creativity. The theme of this year’s Times Literature Festival is ‘Ek Jag, Anek Shabd,’ aashi aahe. It is seen that many imaginations, many thoughts, many ideas come together and a dialogue takes place. C.S. Lewis has said that literature does not stop at merely commenting on facts, but adds more to them. Literature does the work of nurturing the qualities that are necessary in our daily life. Literature would have done the work of portraying the rudeness that had become a part of our lives.
