After coming back to Chennai, the first proper outing I had was to the 29th Book Fair held at Quaid-e-Millat Government College for Women. Guru and I went on Saturday afternoon. We expected the fair to be crowded, the day of our visit being a weekend, but it wasn’t. As long as all the Tamil TV channels keep the makkal occupied on a Pongal afternoon, we shouldn’t have a problem visiting any place – of course Spencer’s Plaza doesn’t count in. We were able to get in and come out of all the stalls except for the stall put up by Anandha Vikatan. At Uyirmai stall we had a nappaasai of meeting Writer Sujatha but he had visited the previous evening only it seemed. Though I saw him a couple of weeks back outside Naradha Gana Sabha, I didn’t talk to him. Well, it wasn’t an opportune moment for making small talk or asking for his autograph. I wouldn’t like to be disturbed for sometime after listening to good music and I didn’t want to do that to him. Anyway, we had a nice time at the book fair and bought some books, all in Tamil.

1. Kalkiyin Sivagamiyin Sabhadam
2. Tamizh Andrum indrum – Sujatha
3. Sujathavin Marma Kadhaigal
4. Sujathavin Therndheduththa Sirugadhaigal – Irandaam Baagam
5. Gnaniyin Kandadhai Sollugiren
6. Pokkiri Maama - Devan

We also bought a couple of books for Sriram.
