Page 3 Kovalam Literary Fest......

Last evening I attended the reading session of Ira Trivedi's The Great Indian Love Story at DC Books, Trivandrum. The cosmopolitan writer babe was in a sexy attire , her sexy cleavage was visible to her dear readers. She said the book was completed within 30 days by writing 10 pages a day. This writer babe has come down to Kerala to attend Kovalam Literary Fest, which turns to be a Page 3 event sponsored by Kendra Sahithya Academy and leading publishers of India. I have heard that there are restricted entries to the venue and the regional writers were envious for the celebrity status of new- breed Page 3 writers. Like the ingredients of her novel the book reading session was the mix of glamor...glitz and Sex. Thanks Ira Trivedi and Kovalam Literary Fest.
