Rochelle’s Verandah (podcast)

I have been archiving my conversations over my latest poetry book ‘Coins in Rivers’ at Rochelle’s Verandah – my tiny little podcast station.

It’s a very on-and-off activity with only 2 free uploads in the basic monthly plan. So I have to wait a whole month to upload two more. But it works!

Check it out here – https://www.amazon.com/Rochelles-Verandah/dp/B09NWHGCHB/

On the Speakers list at Triniti Chandigarh

After my stage performance at Chitkara University, I am glad (and amused) that I am on the roster of Triniti under the ‘Artists’ instead of the ‘Authors’ tab. It means I must concentrate more on what I’ve come to enjoy: performing my poetry.

Thank you, Nicole Suares for being in conversation with me at Broadway Book Centre, Panjim. What a well-researched conversation was that! You even went through my most recent podcasts on Rochelle’s Verandah!
But my most stunning moment was to see Manohar Shetty and Devika Sequeira at the launch.

Thank you Dr. Shalini Yadav for encapsulating this book in your own interpretation.
‘Rochelle Potkar effortlessly reigns over the vast spectrum of Philosophy to Psychology, Mythology to Technology, Marine Biology to Astronomy, and all Sciences to Arts and Humanities as an ace of intellectual domains. Within the pages of ‘Coins in Rivers’, her poetic prowess resonates this profound erudition, infusing each line with an undeniable sense of wisdom.’
