The power of good story multiplies when it's Twice Told. You think you know how the story goes when you've read it. But then you hear it again and it is fresh! TwiceTold is proud to host a discussion with Sejal Mehta about her book Superpowers on the Shore. Sejal Mehta is a journalist and editor. She has worked, and written for, the magazine and newspaper industry for the past 20 years, including Lonely Planet Magazine India, National Geographic Traveller India, Nature inFocus, among others. She is also a published author of children’s books. For the last four years, she has walked across shores in India with the team of Marine Life of Mumbai, a citizen-led initiative documenting and creating awareness about the city’s coastal biodiversity. Her forte has become making science palatable and fun to lay audiences. Through her conversations about the intertidal zone with adults and children over the years, she has found an engaged audience, ready to convert to tidepooling on their own.

The discussion will be chaired and led by Gopal MS, also known as Mumbai Paused. Gopal MS is a photographer and writer who has been documenting life on the streets of Mumbai at mumbaipaused.com for the last 10 years. He loves the city and the stories that spill out on to the streets of the city with limited space. He is also the author of several photobooks based on his documentation of the city.
