The FLO Bengaluru Literary Vertical hosted a reflective and engaging book discussion on Mother Mary Comes to Me by acclaimed author Arundhati Roy on the morning of 10 November 2025. The session brought together literature enthusiasts, critical thinkers, and passionate readers for a rich exchange of ideas and perspectives.
The discussion explored Roy’s distinctive narrative voice, weaving together her political consciousness, deep humanism, and lyrical prose. Key themes such as identity, freedom, resistance, and social conscience were examined in depth, resonating strongly with participants and sparking thoughtful reflection.Moderated by Divya Purniya, the conversation unfolded as an open and inclusive dialogue,
encouraging members to share personal interpretations and engage with differing viewpoints. The session was marked by intellectual curiosity, respectful debate, and a shared appreciation for literature as a catalyst for meaningful conversation.
The warm and intimate setting of the Biere Club added to the experience, fostering camaraderie over good food, laughter, and stimulating discussion. As part of the gathering, tokens of appreciation were presented to members who actively participated in the Writers for FLO initiative during October, recognising their creative contributions.
The morning stood as a celebration of storytelling, dialogue, and connection—reaffirming the Literary Vertical’s role in nurturing thoughtful engagement and shared learning within the FLO Community.
