9th Author's Afternoon called off

May 20, 2013: The Author's Afternoon series, which has taken off very well, was scheduled for its ninth edition on May 19^, 2013, with guest author Rahul Pandita of Our Moon has Blood Clots fame. But yesterday night, while having dinner with a friend of mine at The Taj Bengal, I got a text message from Rahul expressing his regret that he would not be able to come down to Kolkata for the Author's Afternoon session as there was a tragic mishap in his family i.e., one of his brothers-in-law died in a car accident in Chandigarh and he had to rush in there.

We called off the session and immediately informed the guests about the development.

The Author's Afternoon which is organised by Prabha Khaitan Foundation in association with Siyahi, t2 and The Taj Bengal is a much-awaited series for which I keep getting phones calls from time to time.

Some of the most successful and reputed authors have graced the series including KG Pramod, Jeet Thiyal, Sangeeta Bahadur, Amish Tripathi, Chopra, Jeffrey Archer, Anupam Kher, Sanjay Chopra and Kunal Basu and many more in the days ahead.
