Meet Author Pravin Travedi at Westborough Library

The Westborough Public Library will be hosting a book talk by Pravin Travedi, author of “Wandering Migrant”, on Thursday, November 21, 2013 at 7 p.m.        

Mr. Pravedi was born in India, spent his school years in Africa, and went to university in England. He holds a B.Sc. degree in Engineering, a Master of Philosophy, a Master of Science in Engineering Management and a Master of Arts in Teaching. He is an engineer, and established himself as a magnetic recording authority in various disk and tape drive industries.

The “Go West” idea and his easy storytelling nature led him to experiment in writing short stories.  From the back of the book, the description reads, “The man was on a mission…to establish singlehandedly a Gujarati elementary school … you are about to embark on an incredible journey with a delightful family that crosses the densely populated landscape of India, through the monsoon drenched Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, braving sand storms in the Sahara desert, to the town of Omdurman … to be united with him.”

The author will be bringing copies of his book which will be available for purchase and autographing.  This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please call the library at 508-366-3050.
