Spring Fever 2015 (Delhi)
I had heard lots about him, this author. Every girl talks about his novels. Today, luckily I got to attend his interactive session at the Spring Fever 2015. He's one of the best-selling novelists of India. Starting with his first novel, 'Of course I love you' he made a mark in the reading circle. School, college going students grabbed his novels and soon there was no one who hadn't read Durjoy Dutta's novels.
Durjoy Dutta, started writing at the age of twenty and by the age of twenty one, had his first novel published. It became an instant success, and as Durjoy points out; how he had used his real life instances in his first novel, to how he had to hide from his parents' the very fact that their son had become a writer. It's a story of Durjoy that is a journey in itself. The journey from being an ordinary Engineering student at the Delhi College of Engineering to becoming an author of ten novels and scripting three television shows in just seven years, it's worth admiration and respect. The way he has taken his art form to greater heights, one can just assume that there's a long way to go for this young author.
When, questioned in the Spring Fever 2015 being organised by Penguin Random House in Delhi; about why he wrote only about love and not other genres? Durjoy replied, "Because, that's what I understood. It was romance and love, which I had experienced and the first novel I wrote was never written to be published. It was written as an honest account, of my experiences." His upcoming book, 'World's best boyfriend' is to be released on the 24th April this year. The audience was all cheerful, as the candid Durjoy answered their questions with equal energy and interest. At the end of the session; he even posed for selfies with young boys and girls, after letting them make video selfies for their friends; where Durjoy wished them luck and happiness. The Spring Fever 2015 is scheduled for 14-22nd March, at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. For more updates, follow www.facebook.com/PenguinIndia
