On 18th November, a ‘Bookaroo in the City‘ event was held in collaboration with National Book Trust as part of their National Book Week celebrations.

Prakash Manu, well known author and recently retired editor of the popular Hindi magazine “Nandan” had an audience of over 300 children fully involved in his stories. There were children from Pratham Learning Centres, Bluebells School, Kendriya Vidyalaya, The Tamil School and they listened to Prakash ji with rapt attention. Prakash ji told the stories with such grandfatherly affection that the children felt free to ask him many questions. One child even asked him how he managed to change the expression on his face as he talked of different characters and he said it was because he goes deep into his stories…It was treat to see his passion for books and his love for the children.
