We can do great things TOGETHER!



I borrowed my title from the “Show Case” paper published by National Book Trust, India. New Delhi World Book Fair 2013 opened on 4th Feb, 2013. The theme of the fair is “Indigenous Voices: Mapping India’s Folk and Literature,” where the multifarious expressions of Indian’s traditional native cultures including exhibit of books, traditional arts and crafts, panel discussions will be showcased. Well, I must zip  myself up and let you to explore more. Grab this grand opportunity!  You will never regret visiting Delhi. 

I was delighted and excited when I heard the news that New Delhi  is organizing the book fair in 2013. Coincidentally, I had to travel to New Delhi in between the dates. You know it’s good to visit book fair with those brains who are passionate about reading. This would help you in discerning and selecting the worth-reading books. However, a budget matters a lot in such trips. I would say, even if you do not have budget for the fair, please do not forget to grab such an opportunity. There would be a chance to visit different writers and, listen them in different panel discussion. It’s a free of cost. You all had to pay is about the entry fee, which was just 20.00. Imagine, how much more you would be enriched!

Well, Every Nepali would be delighted when he/she sees the home country exhibiting the books. I could interact with the guys from National Booksellers and Publisher Association of Nepal. Moreover, I saw couple of books from my guide Dr. Inchely in the book shelves . Wah! In fact I could not buy the book from M.L. Tickoo which I wanted to get hold of it. I was asked to place an order. 


Question: What is the difference between POD and BOD?
Answer: POD is a general term used for printing a book or any print job while BOD just refers to printing of 'books' on demand specifically.
 
That's all from New Delhi.
