Days that I look forward to ever year

From the past three years every time I look forward for the Hyderabad Literary Festival. Reason is selfish at times. It gives me chance to meet many people who visit and talk about their books or on the topics that they are passionate about. Selfish motive is that, I get a chance mostly meet friends and well-wishers. This helped me immensely to introspect about my own passion and rekindle the fire in me to raise the standard of my potential. This year is no exception. 26-28 January 2018 three days of hectic schedule with events. The guest nation is Spain and the Indian language in focus is Kannada.

People I heard mostly and interacted with few
