Chennai Book Fair 2017
Helen Glory, R. II MA English
I had the
opportunity of visiting the Chennai Book Fair on 19th January which was held in
St. George’s School, Chetpet. It was a very wonderful experience. I have never
gone to any book fair before and I was almost stunned while looking into the various
collections of books.
When I looked at those
precious varieties of books, I was really inspired to read all those books.
There are more than 750 stalls and each stall had unique and different types of
books. I was particularly attracted to one quote that was found hanging on the
top of Stall No.112
This stall was
named, ‘Tamil Mann Padhipagam.’ It had various books on Maraimalaiyadigal’s
speeches and writings. I saw some quotes that were hung on the top of this
stall; Actually it was these inspiring quotes that made me go close to the
stall and have a look at the books that were on display at the stall.
Being an English
Literature student, I always have a great love towards my native language Tamil
and I was more attracted to this stall when compared to others. 
It was indeed a
very memorable day that I would never forget in all my life.
It was a very
productive and inspiring time visiting such a wonderful Book Fair. Hereafter, I
am sure I would never miss such an opportunity in my lifetime.
