At the recently concluded Bangalore Literature Festival there were of course a host of luminaries Gulzar with his soft poetry, Shobha De, with her charming presence, not to mention Chetan Bhagat and many more. A lot of everything was happening almost everyday, while some were just catching up with their friends, some made half hearted attempts at understanding Gulzar's soft tones, while other's enjoyed some of the other sessions, some were chasing tea & coffee, others were running around a bustling Chetan Bhagat..amongst all this, in a quiet corner sat this little boy, with his Agatha Christie. If literary festivals are about the love of reading and imbibing that culture and spreading the message through an action, there could have been none that was better.
Before clicking I asked him, 'May I have a picture?' He nodded his head, in faint irritation at being disturbed and went back to his reading..while the mikes blared..little masters are born perhaps in some such little corners.
