The Great Fire of London finally burned out, resulting in a devastating loss to 70,000 of the city’s 80,000 homes. Famous diarist Samuel Pepys recorded some of the fire’s devastation in his diary: “So down \[I went\], with my heart full of trouble, to the Lieutenant of the Tower, who tells me that it began this morning in the King’s baker’s house in Pudding Lane, and that it hath burned St. Magnus’s Church and most part of Fish Street already. So I rode down to the waterside, . . . and there saw a lamentable fire. . . . Everybody endeavouring to remove their goods, and flinging into the river or bringing them into lighters that lay off; poor people staying in their houses as long as till the very fire touched them, and then running into boats, or clambering from one pair of stairs by the waterside to another. And among other things, the poor pigeons, I perceive, were loth to leave their houses, but hovered about the windows and balconies, till they some of them burned their wings and fell down.” The Diary of Samuel Pepys

Sahityika has been a warm and inspiring space, full of creativity, connection, and growth. It's where I found not just a platform for expression, but a family of like-minded, supportive individuals.
Sreevidya
Sahityika is a sanctuary—a sanctuary where creativity overflows. It has taught me so many things. It’s now become like home, full of fun and friends. I don’t know how words could ever capture the beauty of this place.
Prasidha Jayaramakrishnan
Being a part of group of highly knowledgeable people who share my love for literature has been a liberating journey. Even though I am occasionally active in the group through messages, I tend to stay in track with the happenings of the group. From what I've seen, Sahityika feels to me like a group of non-judgmental people who bring to the table a lot of different views on the world. I've learnt a lot from this place.

Raajameenakshi's leadership. Satyaki's Poems. Shambhavi's events. Sejal's scripts. And the entire team's enthusiasm and participation, it wins all our hearts. Sahityika is a warm, welcoming space which brings out the writer in us, brings out emotions and provides a space for us to connect better as people, unfiltered, unjudged, real.
