Today was September 30, 2016. Today, my second translated book, ‘Sweet
Stories for Tiny Tots’ was going to be released. For the book release function, my
grandparents have also come from our native.
So, the morning session was a discussion between the people who were
going to get the awards in the evening and the people. For it, I wore a pink lehanga. It was from 10:00am to 12:00pm. By the time it was 11:00, my sister got bored
and she went home with my father. At
12:00pm, when it finished, I was introduced to writers and translators. We had lunch there and came home for changing
our dresses. I wore a white – and – pink
top and skirt. The program was from
5:30pm to 9:00pm. We went there at 5:00pm. Then all our relatives and friends came for
the function. They called the Chief
Guest, the people who were getting the awards, the aunty whose book was also
going to be released and me to the stage.
First itself, my book was released.
The person who was receiving it was a translator named Shanta Dutt. Then, her book was released. Then, one by one, the people got their
awards. Then, the people who organized
the awards got special awards and at last, the people who released their books,
that is, me and Shanta Dutt aunty also got special awards. I even got cash prize and an award from the
publication which published my book.
Then, when it was time to go home, everybody came and introduced
themselves to me and congratulated me.
Even my friends and relatives congratulated. Then we ate dinner in a hotel and went
home. It was a very good
experience. All these had inspired me to
write and translate more books.
