What happens when you leave behind the familiar and follow your curiosity to far corners of the world?

In Rootless and Restless, Shivya Nath trades comfort for adventure and sets off on a deeply personal journey to some of our planet’s most remote places. From a tiny island deep in the Arctic to off-grid Indigenous communities in Myanmar and the stark mountain deserts of Uzbekistan, she travels in search of stories, traditions and ways of life that are rarely written about.

Along the way, Shivya finds herself tangled in a morality police raid in Iran, discovering centuries-old traditions in Japan and coming face-to-face with the last living member of an entire species in the Pacific Ocean.

In a world shaped by social media, cultural divides and climate change, Rootless and Restless is a reminder that travel can be more than ticking destinations off a list. It can open doors to remarkable people, unexpected lessons and perhaps even transform the traveller herself.

Akankshya Abismruta (akankshya abismruta ) on our literary adventures at the third edition of the Walking BookFairs Travel Writing Festival in the Hindustan Times ✨

The third edition of the Travel Writing Festival created a moving oasis where readers and authors interacted freely. In the end, it was clear that everyone wanted a reading revolution, and that they were all keen to play a role in making it happen.

Our theme this year at the 4th Edition of the Walking BookFairs Travel Writing Festival is something we have been working on since 2014 when we started Walking BookFairs—Building A Reading Culture.

To kick off this year's festival, we'll be giving away 500 brand new book gifts to railway passengers at the Bhubaneswar railway station, followed by a collective silent reading session on the moving train to spread the love of reading and books.

Wherever you are, we urge you to pick up a book, gift a book, support independent bookstores create more reading communities, bookstores and libraries near you and spread the love ♥️

No five star venues.
No corporate fundings.
No advertising billboards.
No giant flex backdrops.

No VIP culture. Just a reading and thinking culture.

A democratic stage.
Life as backdrop and setting.
A celebration of our shared humanity. Because literature belongs to everybody.

At an independent literature festival by an Independent bookstore.

See you at India's first traveling literature festival, the Walking BookFairs Travel Writing Festival 4th Edition on 5-6 September 2026.
