Testimonials

  • "Strand is a dream come true, a dream of journeys to distant shores, dialogues with different cultures, voices of great souls and the constant bustle of civilizations in transition, an answer to a curious mind! Stand is friendly to the reader, wide in its reach, eclectic in its scope and light on the purse: the scholar, the pauper, the poet, the student  and the pretender, all find sustenance. Strand stands for the late T.N.Shanbhag with his wonderful passion and Vidya Virkar with her keen intellect!"

    -Mr. Mohandas Pai, 
     Director, Infosys
