Event Description

Atta Galatta is delighted to host the launch of Chaos in a Coupe: Travelling across India with Three Dogs by Divya Dugar on 25th Jan at 12:30 PM.

Once upon a time, there was a family: Divya Dugar, her partner Olivier, their tiny hooman Marius, and their three rescue streeties—Tigress, Marcopolo and Pari. They lived in Delhi. And they wanted to go to other places.

So, they booked a first-class coupe with the Indian Railways that allowed them to travel with their dogs. The sixsome went on many, many train journeys. It was not just about getting to a place, be it Goa, Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh, but about seeing it with new eyes—and ears and noses, which is inevitable when half your touring party is canine.

As they faced uncanny, hilarious situations and tried their best to grapple with systems designed for human convenience, the high point of the trips was often the adventures in the train compartment, which the dogs made their very own.

A witty, whimsical, wry account of those journeys, accompanied by some stunning photographs, Chaos in a Coupe is a book that travelers, pet parents and anyone who likes a good read will enjoy.

About the Author

Divya Dugar is a journalist and storyteller with over fifteen years of experience covering news and producing long-form documentaries. Born in Rajasthan and having lived between Kolkata and Delhi, she studied at the Asian College of Journalism before going on to work as a producer on more than sixty reports/documentaries for European broadcasters, primarily ARTE. She also worked as a journalist for four years with France 2.

Her writing has appeared in numerous publications (including The Book of Dog, edited by Hemali Sodhi and published by HarperCollins) and often draws from her love for animals, heritage architecture, train travel and places off the beaten path. Now based in Southeast Asia, Divya lives with her partner Olivier, their two young children Marius and Elora, and two dogs—Marcopolo and Pari—who are equal parts companions and chaos agents.
