The talk held within the creative space of the art gallery revolved around issues concerning art, literature, language and politics.
Mr. Varma in his address advised the coming generation to hold as multi-dimensional attitude and not to be glued and obsessed only with their careers but expand their barriers to cultivate a hobby or sport to kindle their zeal for creativity. About his intellectual and creative undertakings that is reflected in the huge corpus of books- both fiction and non-fiction written by him including Adi Shankaracharya: Hinduism’s Greatest Thinker, The Great Indian Middle Class, Becoming Indian: The Unfinished Revolution of Culture and Identity, Ghalib- The Man, The Times, etc.

Basing his facts in the Indian Civilization that has held the legacy of conversation, Mr. Varma praised the idea of the “Underground Talks” that despite on a smaller scale was creating such a space for freedom of expression and dialogue.
Talking about the Hindu Philosophy, Mr. Varma said his writings has always aimed at informing and clearing the dew around the religious and philosophical views that has undergone several phases of mis-interpretation or over-interpretation.
