Well, look what we have here! Little wonder you wanted me to see it ‘with my own eyes’,” Lady Flora exclaimed at the sight that was in front of her. Sir PM was surrounded with a pile of new books in the courtyard of St Thomas Cathedral. “Pheroze, that’s quite a collection that you’ve picked up; are you relooking at your bookshelf? I am mighty impressed with the range–everything from TS Elliot to Ambedkar to Hemmingway.”
Sir PM beamed; his friend’s approval meant the world to him. “I got quite carried away. There is this literature festival that’s underway in the city; so, I decided to head there, attend a few sessions, and re-acquaint myself with the world of books. Viegas was going gaga about it all of yesterday. I was sorely missing this universe, especially now, since it’s so easy for city worriers like us to lose out on these small joys of life.” Anything to do with the world of literature was enough to pique Lady Flora’s brain, “And how long is this going to continue? Do you think you would like to return, assuming we can make a quick dash?”
