28th July 2020, Kolkata: Vaijayantee Bhattacharya, a journalist from Bahrain, launches her first poetry anthology, Mosaic Vision. The launch was held on the 23rd of July at the Oxford Book Store in the evening.
There was a special press conference with the author before the book launch by Shri Jawhar Sircar.

Audiences were fascinated by poetry and were truly inspired by it as poetry is believed to touch souls. Ms. Bhattacharya was 24 years old when she left the city, Kolkata to Delhi and eventually to Bahrain, Middle East. It was after moving from Kolkata, the writer, editor and poet gained experience and knowledge of the world.
Mosaic Vision, an anthology of some of Vaijayantee’s poems written over the last 8 years, reflects her thoughts and memories depicting her emotions in her various moods and situations that portrayed her emotional evolution as a woman. Therefore, poems varied in their subjects, themes, and tones, form a mosaic pattern that helps the reader get an understanding of a modern woman—delighted and distraught by the struggles of the times.
Mosaic Vision is, therefore, a conglomerate of all these different perceptions and approaches towards individual Life. A winner of numerous positive pre-publication reviews from eminent journalists across India and Bahrain, Vaijayantee’s book has gained its popularity among the deepest chords of human emotions of Journalists and Academia throughout both countries.
