Sahni started his pre-launch tour on June 2nd, where he met fans and distributed pre-ordered books across seven cities, including Jaipur, Surat, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Varanasi. The tour concluded with the grandest launch in Delhi on 16th June.

Raunaq, with a decade-long career in film documentaries and YouTube videos, embarked on a transformative 100-day journey across India, a personal odyssey tagged #100DaysofDreaming. This voyage sparked profound questions about identity, both personal and national. Seated on the banks of the sacred Ganges one serene morning, he received a subtle yet compelling message from the river herself—to embark on a journey tracing the length of the Ganges, from its source to its delta, in search of the essence of self and country. This encouraged the concept of his debut book “Melodies of Indiaˮ.
