Ms. Jahnavi Baruah an amazing writer, hailing from our homeland Assam is a finalist in the Man Asian Booker 2011, considered the most prestigious literary award in the whole of the Asian continent. Jahnavi Baruah’s book titled “Rebirth” had been shortlisted for this prestigious award. I am aware about a few other Indian writers previously winning the award. And that now an Assamese writer for the first time ever being nominated to such a prestigious list of brilliant writers got me bursting with joy. In the course of my quest for this book I also came into contact with other unique and gifted individuals, namely Mr. Aiyushman Dutta and Ms Barnali Das who have amazed me with their unassuming yet powerful personalities.
