Jaya Misra, a screenwriter, creative director and a producer ventured into the world of novel writing with her debut novel ‘K**a: The Story of K**a Sutra’- only to find out if she could write it. Surprised by the positive reception of the book, she says “The most surprising part has been that people from all age groups, right from 18 to 80, have liked the book. Even my mum and my best friend’s mother-in-law have thoroughly enjoyed the book and have given amazing reviews.

This year's MITID's theme - Sight aims to do just that.
