Get ready for an evening filled with stories, nostalgia, and inspiration as Dubai-based author and storyteller Sangeetha Vallat visits Chennai to talk about her memoir Platform Ticket. The event is set to take place at Joy of books Library, Anna Nagar, on Saturday, April 12, 2025, from 6 to 7 PM, and is open to all with free entry.

Published by Penguin, Platform Ticket is a heartfelt memoir that takes readers behind the plexiglass counters of Indian Railways. Drawing from her personal experiences, Sangeetha shares little-known tales of dedication, camaraderie, and resilience among railway frontline workers — the people who silently power one of the world’s busiest transport systems.

Sangeetha Vallat was a finalist at LitMart 2023 at the Bangalore Literature Festival, where her storytelling skills won hearts. This interactive session promises a candid look into the making of her book, her unique experiences with Indian Railways, and the human connections that form in the most unexpected places.

The event is hosted by Joy of books Library, a cosy haven for readers in the heart of Anna Nagar. Book lovers, aspiring writers, and fans of Indian narratives won’t want to miss this opportunity to meet the author and hear the real stories behind her railway chronicles.
