16th of November, 2022

Kudos to this one memorable moment of my life that i will cherish! 2 years gone like a breeze and i still brag about this day to people!

I never have thought of picking up ' the great Indian novel'. But i guess it was all work of the universe. 

16th of November 2022, might not be one of the bestest year but this photo makes me forget about all the sorrows i went throught that year ,every stress seems like a dot in front of this very wholesome picture. I had 500 rupees in my wallet and very mucb excited to meet my idol Mr. Shashi Tharoor. I have always been a fan of his since i saw him in tv giving speech in the parliament and then it grew via youtube his debates and one of his most popular speech in london . His educational qualification, him belonging from st. Stephen was also the reason for me to idolise him . 

In the bookstore theirwere 10 15 people around. We had arrived on time but as VIP people do he was obliged to be late. I got my chance to stroll my eye in the bookstore finding the perfect book of his for me to took his sign in . To make that book the most valuable asset in my life. His newly released book was of 700/- and i only had 500 with my . Thats when the red book named as ' the great indian novel' came in front of my eye. I checked the MRP first it was of 399/- then i read the back description. Didnt got what it meant but com'on a book under budget was what i was looking for. I bought it and then got it signed from him. He was as charming as he looked in television and youtube. His accent as fluent as it sounded on tv . That moment i felt like i was in cloud 9 

The great Indian novel is my most favourite book . Full of sarcasm, history, politics, suspense, mystery , mythology. A full packed book. I would be lying if i say that i have not marked every other line in the book. I still have 3 book of his which I brought from bookfair. Not being able to read because of busy exam schedule .
