Join us for the book discussion of my non fiction book ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ on 8th June (today) at 4 p.m.
The event will be conducted by Kolkata Bookworms at the Storyteller Bookstore, Picnic Garden.
Published by Srishti Publishers & Distributors and represented by The Book Bakers, this is the true crime story of the Bhawal Raja set in pre-Independent India.
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.
29th Jan 2025 at the Kolkata Book Fair is now etched in memory for life.
