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.

Thank you Sristhi Publishers and Vishwakarma Publications for the opportunity. Thank you The Book Bakersl for turning my dreams into reality.

‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ gets the coveted ‘Bestseller’ tag on Amazon

‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ gets the much coveted ‘BESTSELLER’ tag on Amazon. Quite a coincidence that its colour matches with the color of my book cover.

It’s a Bestseller now

Thank you Srishti Publishers for the guidance.

Happy New Year 2025

Thank you 2024 for reinstating my belief in persistence and hardwork. The year began at the bookstore Story and ended with copies of my new book getting shipped to the major bookstores in Kolkata. The year started with a bunch of people and it ended with those who I call friends like family. The first trip of the year was just the three of us while the last trip of the year was with my closest family. Here’s to 2024 for being kind, joyful, productive and enjoyable. 
2025, I hope you turn out to be even better.

Wrapping up 2024

Here’s wishing you a very happy new year 2025.
