Hindu Lit For Life, 17th Feb, 2013. Harrington Road, Chennai.
The day warm and pleasant.Auto guy charged me extra for a 500 meter ride, and i reached exactly on time for Wendell Rodricks' session Green Room, about fashion industry. The session continued with the usual green room incidents, fashion weeks and hot models. His statement, " Models can easily spot a straight guy in the green room" made the audience giggle. The day continued with a few other authors talking about usual things and trying really hard to make their book a best seller. I felt it absurd. One guy literally begged the audience to buy his books. What a cheap..!!
I listened to the rest of the boring sessions with much patience and over submissiveness just because Meena Kandaswami was sitting beside me. Hot, intelligent and a rebel. She wrote " Dear Nisanth, Read, Rebel! " in my notebook..Love "Meena".... I got to flirt too.. no i would not say flirt.. It's called "socializing in a very apt and over friendly way" with one of the saffron saree girls. Name is Mancy (guess i spelled it correctly). Student from WCC.. friendly.. lovable....and with a very cute smile. I fell for her..though it lasted only for a few moments. I remember how I sat down and wrote a few lines on a piece of paper she handed to me to hang it on the wish tree. All I wished for is unconditional love with a faint hope that she would read it.
I got books too.. and got it autographed from the authors. Jeet Thayil's Narcopolis and Varun's "how i braved anu aunty and co-founded a million dollar company". The session on food by Rocky and Mayur was fun filled and yummy. Food quote was excellent and witty like always, "Though we came to chennai for literature fest, Murugan's Idli is what we liked the best" for which the crowd broke down into a huge applause.
Jerry Pinto, the crazy kid who whistled and came in during a session was awarded the Prize for the best novel..Em and the Big Hoom. No comments. I got to see sexy Shriya Saran and beautiful Sharmila Tagore. The pervert in me managed to get a few good photos of Shriya. I should admit that I really tried to control that pervert only to find him uncontrollable. Nobody to blame. A few good memories and two books which I am really looking forward to read. I took the night train, got back home and slept...next year.
