In the age of internet, more and more young impressionistic minds are getting motivated to write books. But, alas, there are very few avid readers, and a sea of social media geeks. The tricity too is sure churning out writers. There has been a flurry of book launches by young, and not so young first time writers in the city since September. Beginning with Part One of ‘The Time Traveler’ by a serving ‘fauji’ Tej Pratap Singh, followed by an anthology of poems named ‘Idiosyncrasy’ by young Twesha Dikshit and then a book on creativity ‘Off The Corporate Bus And Into the Creativity Boat’ by Ashoo Khosla. Adding to the variety on Friday was Nipun Nakra who launched his maiden book
In Nipun’s own words, the book relates the “story of friends, penned by a friend, for the friends”. It is dedicated to all the free-spirited, adventure-seeking and fun-loving souls.

Says the writer, who is deeply into media marketing, “If you are an avid reader of suspense thrillers, this one is a must read for you. Karma Café, published by Fly High Publications, is a fun filled, hilarious and action-packed suspense thriller that takes you on a roller coaster ride through the peppy college life, dating dilemmas, peer pressures and notorious pranks.”
