Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya and Dr. Mousumi Ghosh just wrote a book on their experience on visiting Vietnam. Click on the link in red to get the ebook.
Below is the foreward from the book:
Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya and Dr. Mousumi Ghosh two distinguished scholars from India visited Vietnam recently to attend Asia Pacific Poetry Meet 2015. They were in fact invited by the Vietnam Writers’ Association at the third Conference on Vietnamese Literary Promotion in Hanoi March 2015.
Before visiting Vietnam- a Communist country both of them had numerous questions in their mind. They were really not in the know how to interact with Vietnam-a different culture? Nevertheless they could interact successfully not only with the people of Vietnam but also with those literary personalities visiting the fest from different parts of the world. As soon as they came back from Vietnam they composed a book in Vietnam Unvisited Visited and Revisited. The book is basically a sequence of monologues of Ramesh and Mousumi. They share their experience in Vietnam with their readers. They record their reflections of Asia Pacific Poetry Meet 42015 in Vietnam which is but the light of the world today Light in their book. One may call the book as a memoir of Dr. Mousumi and Dr. Ramesh. They have reconstructed their dream of Vietnam unvisited after visiting the real Vietnam. For them their journey to Vietnam is but a Pilgrim’s Progress. They as if went for a Pilgrimage there. They tried to record everything right from the first welcome in the airport of Hanoi then meeting poets listening to them sharing with them in their book religiously. I consider it as one of the valuable documents because it will facilitate the readers of India who know not much about the Vietnam which is passing through a new phase of Doi Moi. Dr. Ramesh and Dr. Mousumi have rightly said that politicians create boundaries between man and man, literature destroys those boundaries. I believe this book will enhance the India Vietnam fraternity in the real sense of the term.
