 Neev Literature Festival 2025 Wazzup My Fans, This year I'm back with another blog about my experience in NLF 2025 and I could say without doubt that this year's sessions were the best out of the 4 years I've attended the Neev Literature Festivals. I've been telling this every year but it just keeps getting better as it goes on. I haven't added much photos as my parents were so busy chit chatting like birds chirping they couldn't take photos of the world's most important person in Neev's beautifully designed backgrounds, me. My saturday sessions started with a session by Savie Kernel. I had already read her book, the Nameless God and was more than excited to meet her. She told us all about her book , Laxmi Panda and I wanted to rush to the bookstore and grab a copy of the book because of her session and my previous reading experience with the nameless god. After the session, I got her autograph on my book Next , I went to a session that made me say some...

"Field Trip 2 hours away from Bangalore!!!!!! That's crazy. " , I yelled as I read the email that my school had sent. It was a trip to a sugarcane and silk factory and obviously my parents let me go. I was ecstatic the day before the trip and was jumping around and wondering about what snacks to buy. I was so hyped up that I couldn't study or do my homework and I slept early and woke up early for the first time in my life that my dad thought it was the apocalypse. We left school at about 7:00 in the morning. And as we went, we turned on the speakers and started playing music. We were vibing and singing so loudly that the people in the road were staring at us.When it was snack time everyone got so much snacks and we were sharing everything passing stuff back and forth.

We reached about 2 hours later in Ramanagara a town  for silk production and rocky hills, also known for the movie   Sholay . and we first went t...

After the race, Sonny meets his old teammate who convinces him to get back to F1. His friend is the owner of a losing F1 team and makes Sonny to come back to racing and race for his team. The ...
