January 29. “So the Tollygunge event has finally taken off?”

“Yes, Button, the poetry reading together with a lot of other activities like Ankur Trivedi jamming to Dost’s poetry and a meet the press and high tea with dinner later has been organized.”

“The whole city is abuzz with news about the event. Let’s hope everything goes well.”

“Touch wood.”
