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.

About me and about the book
RSPV Kolkata Bookworms or Khushi Rungta on Instagram to confirm.
2024 is the year when I visited Purulia, Ayodhya Hills, Lucknow, Agra, Vizag, and Gopalpur in the last 3 months.
At Vizag
Since Diary, Deceit and Death released in September 2024, the book has travelled with me to all these places.
At Agra
Here’s my father holding the book at a picturesque location chosen by my husband while my son clicked the picture. They along with my in-laws are the reason I shifted careers to pursue what I always loved doing – writing. It’s overwhelming to see them feel happy and proud of me.
Ayodhya Hills, Purulia
For the next couple of days, there will be some major announcements – the year end surprises I have planned for my readers and friends.
At Lucknow
Until then, if you haven’t placed an order for the book, it’s time you do it as a year end gift to yourself or your loved ones. Here’s the link –
Thank you Parna and Arijit for making the Pune Book Festival extra special for me.
