A launch and a review!
This has been both a delightful and a tear-jerker of a day in equal measure. The Susu Pals and The Unboy Boy got launched at Bombay’s Kitab Khana as part of the Kala Ghoda Arts Fesitval, 2014. While I sit here in Lagos thousands of miles away from the scene of action, a most awesome set of people put it together and managed to convince me that these books are no longer just my babies! That explains the delight and the weeping with joy bit! Thank you Sangeeta Mehta Bhansali, Lubaina Bandukwala, Gautam Benegal and Preeti Shekhawat for making it possible! 
Some snapshots of the event at the end of this post. But before that, this other thing that left me at a loss of words in the most thrilling and satisfying of ways:
