Koel Purie’s book is a pertinent dialogue on identity in Paris, and the celebratory evening perfectly summed it all

Actor, anchor, producer, and now author, Koel Purie juggles many hats. “And there are many more in the air!” she exclaims. That is how the migrant in her and the born storyteller met in Clearly Invisible in Paris. “The conversation about who truly gets to be a Parisian is an important one to have.” And Purie introduces us to a perfect slice of the diaspora in Paris. Whether in crying in pain for the protagonist or celebrating the everyday joys of sisterhood, the read never fails to engage, and the same can be said of the celebration at The Chanakya that brought together friendship, family, and colleagues for a night of carefully curated food, drinks, and laughs.
