Delhi Book fair and the last Tuesday prompt!
And so it goes. (with due reverence to Kurt Vonnegut)
This is the last Tuesday of February and it has been a truly GREAT month. I met so may of you who have been taking part in the 'Tea for two tuesdays', yesterday at Delhi, during the event at World Book fair.
It was fantastic meeting you all!
I am truly blown away and deeply indebted with all the love you have shown me! Some of you came from places as far as three hours from Delhi and waited so patiently to meet me.
If you wish to read about the book fair and the event in detail, Aabha has written a post about it here.
Here are two picture from the event (thanks to Aabha again) :
Now like all good things, the 'Tea for two tuesdays' should also come to an end.. and this is the last one in the series. I do feel bad it is coming to an end, but I feel wonderful about the camaraderie that it has created! After all, that is truly what blogging, writing and books are about, isn't it?
The connect that words create and the fact that our minds can meet before our physical selves have!
Here is the last prompt in the 'Tea for two (and a piece of cake) Tuesdays".
And this time it is just to get to know YOU better. It has nothing to do with Tea for two or a piece of cake!.
Answer the following questions about yourself:
1. If you had Rs.50,000 to just blow up (you have to spend it on YOURSELF. Giving to Charity or buying gifts for others not allowed), what would you spend it on and why?
2. Name three of your closest friends (not family or spouse) and say why you love them.
3. Name three books which have profoundly affected you and which you would recommend to everyone to read.
4. If you know for certain that you can never ever fail, what would you attempt to do?
5. What is THE ONE THING that you want very very badly?
Go on--take part. You have shown me so much love! You know so much about me.
Now I want to know about YOU! :)
