Jaipur Litrature Festival-2018

Described as the 'greatest literary show on Earth' and the 'Kumbh of Litrature',the ZEE Jaipur Literature is a sumptuous feast of ideas.        Today  has been a dream day  at jaipur literature festival at Diggi Palace Jaipur for me. A dream came true to see Shashi Tharoor  at front lawns with Ashwin Sanghi talking on keepers of the kalachakra and then Shashi Tharoor, Tishani doshi ,shuki kim & vivek shanbhag in conversation with Eric Akoto on Litro world series :India: The power of fiction at charbagh. Shashi Tharoor is a well known writer and politician  but he is also a very very impressive statesman. His session was very crowded and i could not find a place and therefore heard him by standing in sun in a suffocating crowd but his  conversation kept the crowd tied to session.            One question posed from among the crowd was very beautifully answered by him. The question was what is  a writer's status in society ?      Beautiful reply was given by him
