And it’s a wrap at the Kolkata Book Fair 2026

And it’s a wrap! While unavoidable circumstances led to my limited presence at the Kolkata Book Fair this year, I’m grateful to all my friends and readers who picked up the signed copies of my books from Sristhi Publishers Stall and Storyteller Stall.

It was wonderful meeting you Shouvik.

I hope to be back next year at the Book Fair with a new book.

Visiting the Kolkata Book Fair 2026 as an author for the second year

Yesterday was my second year as an author at the International Kolkata Book Fair 2026. I visited the Sristhi Publishers Stall (E-94) where I signed copies of my non-fiction book ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ and interacted with a few readers.

The next stop was at the Storyteller Stall (E-95), where I signed copies of both my books – the detective thriller ‘Diary, Deceit and Death’ featuring Raya Ray and the true crime story ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’.

Met and chatted with some of my fellow authors. It was heartwarming to see a few readers who have read all my books drop in to say hi and enquire about what I am writing next.

Team Storyteller captured my journey as an author where I also spoke about both my books, about those who have been my pillars of support in this journey and my thoughts about Kolkata Book Fair this year. The reel is available to view on my Insta page.

Happy Saraswati Pujo 2026

2026 didn’t begin on a good note for me. All I’ve dealt with is sickness and missed opportunities. Three days back, it didn’t look like I could even sit through Saraswati Pujo this year.

But by God’s grace and my husband’s efficient treatment, I could at least be a part of the pujo.

Baba took up the responsibility of planning and executing it. He had his assistant, my son for support. It’s become their annual ritual over the years and it feels surreal to see them work in sync with each other.

May Ma Saraswati bless us all with knowledge and wisdom.
