Good Feeling in attending Hyderbad Literary Festival

Hyderabad Literary Festival –January 24-26, 2014


I was waiting for the Hyderabad Literary Festival. It was like magic as events started going on in different venues and people rushing to see / hear the topics that they are interested in. For 2 days I had to attend in the evenings and the ones that I attended were really thought provoking and interesting.

And finally Theatre Workshop by Cathal Quinn was really made me feel good. Whenever someone recommends Samuel Beckett’s work I am not sure as to how to respond as I felt uncomfortable in reading I was not precise in giving my reason, particularly regarding “Waiting for Godot”, I kept on in my reading list but not dared to start. During the workshop Mr. Quinn in his initiating to the workshop talked about Beckett and his works and his style etc., and the reaction of the public for his work. By the end of the workshop I did get a feeling that I can read now “Waiting for Godot”.

I could meet lots of people who love literature in one place, thought provoking sessions made me feel good about the festival. This lit fest also gave me a chance to meet people after a long time and discuss literature. Waiting for more in the next year lit fest.
