BlogchatterA2Z - My experience meeting Ankur Warikoo
I’ve encountered a myriad of authors post-lockdown, from the vibrant Jaipur Literature Festival to the Tata Literature Festival and book launches galore. Yet, my encounter with Ankur Warikoo stood out as a singularly unique experience. As a Mumbai native, I had yet to truly immerse myself in the city’s essence, beyond its glitz and glamor, but rather in its pulsating local trains, relentless traffic, and sweltering summer heat.

Stepping into the Crossword Bookstore that day, the sight of Warikoo’s array of books evoked a palpable sense of excitement. Meeting him felt surreal, a culmination of a long-held aspiration.
