Philosopher-poet Jernail Singh Anand releases essays on modernity's 'ethical blank'
From the library to the living room · thehansindia.com

A wise writer named Dr. Jernail Singh Anand has written a new book called 'Conversations with the Infinite.'

The book is a collection of essays, which are short pieces where someone shares their ideas and thoughts.

Anand has written more than 200 books, and he has won many awards.

In this book, he says the modern world has a big problem: people care too much about machines, work, and money, and not enough about being kind and fair.

He even made up a funny word, 'laptopicarians,' for workers who are always on their laptops, even at night.

He thinks it is not fair that these workers have no time to rest or take care of themselves.

He wants schools to teach children how to be good people, not just how to get jobs.

He also wants writers and artists to stand up for what is right.

His book is written in simple words so that everyone can understand it, like having a chat over evening tea.
