8/2/25 – Day 3 of book signings at Kolkata Book Fair

The fair was buzzing with people today. I went to sign copies of ‘Diary, Deceit Death’ in the Storyteller Stall and ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ in the Sristhi Publishers Stall. A few friends had messaged that they would go tomorrow to pick up copies of my books, so I thought of keeping some signed for them. Besides it was the perfect time to meet Shouvik of Srishti Publishers & Distributors. Thank you Arup for the constant encouragement.

Signing copies at Storyteller Bookstore stall for the second time was a pleasure. Thank you Mayura for the support. A big thanks to Vishal Soni of Vishwakarma Publications and Uttam Patil for arranging this.

But it was a pleasant surprise when Basubhadra dropped in with her family to buy an author signed copy of ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ for gifting. I know it’s her second copy of this book, so a tight hug to you, Rhea. After 33 years, Anupriya Banerjee Misra chose the book fair as the perfect venue for a reunion. Thank you for picking up both my books.

Suhail and team The Book Bakers , this wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you!

To those visiting the fair tomorrow, you can grab signed copies of my books at E-86 (The Sanyasi who became a King) and E-39 (Diary, Deceit and Death). Also, it’s the last day of the fair.

My first Book Fair as an author

This is how my first book fair as an author went.

On 29/1/25, I spent an hour at the Srishti Publishers & Distributors stall E-86 and I was delighted to meet its CEO,  Arup, after more than a year. My childhood friends made the event more special with their presence.  It was a pleasure catching up with fellow authors Prasun, Sourabh Mukherjee Da and meeting Udayaditya Da for the first time. We were more than happy to sign books for each other though I must mention that the first signed copy was bought by my son.

My next destination was The Storyteller stall E-39. Anwesh, who I had met during the previous event at The Storyteller bookstore had come to get an author-signed copy of ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’. Signed some copies of this book and ‘Diary, Deceit and Death’. Mayura, the owner of The Storyteller, made the experience so warm and welcoming. Thank you Vishal Sir and Uttam Dada of Vishwakarma Publications for arranging this.
