Chapter 1 : The Literary Festival

Myriad Hue,the tapesteries,yellow red
saffron , the long cloths and paper cut outs
adorned the place.It was colours galore.
Writers and the many more readers
filled the place.

Amongst the crowd moved a tall very handsome
man.Blue sun glasses a soft white slevved shirt
and dark brown trousers.He had a camera hung over
his shoulders and a light bag that hung onto his side.
A Tag Huer watch and quilted shirt with the Nikon
Camera gave him the look of a very wealthy gentleman.
Wealthy he was indeed.He stood and watched
where a writer meet with the public was underway.
A couple of a thousand people were seated and many
more stood strolled around ,writers,journalists,readers
and others filled the place.

Seated on the dias were four eminent writers
an american , an pakistani,an african and an indian.

The tall blue spectacled man's eye's were fixated
on the Indian writer on the dias,his eyes hidden by
the blue google's.

"Sir your last book treasure's of India was a miniature
version of lost treasure's in India,it was a childrens book,
will we see a Treasure Hunt Novel for adults ?you hinted
at that in your last interview"

Professor Gupta was an eminent Indian writer,writing
both fictional and non fictional .He had won the Booker
Prize on one of his fictional tales.

"I was an Archealogist by education and profession,until
I became a full time writer,the last childrens book made
me feel like Indiana Jones "

This invoked smiles and a few laughs amongst the crowd.

"seriously yes I am researching about a lost treasure,one
amongst the many featured in the kid's book"

An athletic good looking young Lady slipped next to
the tall man.She whispered in his ear " Akash its been
setup"
