- Managed to watch three of the sessions – yesterday the one on 100 objects and the one on Benazir, and just now the interview with Jane Goodall. Well, as they say, there is nothing like a dame – and what an inspiring dame this wonderful lady is! Frankly, I was almost moved to tears hearing what she had to say – and also extremely heartened when I heard her say what I have been saying for many years, namely what triggered the Big Bang, and, if the Big Bang was triggered by the interaction of particles what caused that to happen etc etc etc. That is one reason for my belief that we humans have to be humble enough to recognise that we do not have all the answers and that there is an inexplicable force (which some call God) behind all this. It sounds silly to say this but it is extremely easy to love this lady – even though one doesn’t know her personally. Let’s hope and pray that the world heeds her wise words and follows her path. Thank you for organising this festival – I enjoyed the other sessions I saw, but a single session with Dame Jane alone would have been worth having the festival!

- Thank you and your team for a brilliant and enlightening litfest that did Sardar Sahib proud
~Bill Aitken, Author
- I watched the Sarah Joseph interview with Kabir Bedi and found it to be most interesting and quite fascinating – so many familiar names and people one knew – a life really lived with all the up’s and downs. I knew Protima – in fact she and her sister came to my wedding reception and knew no one there so Renu kindly looked after them – small world. Looks like it’s all gone well.
