Book Thieves by Dr. Santosh Bakaya

The protagonist in this story shifts to  Lotus Colony, Jagatpura, Jaipur and through his bedroom window often sees an odd pair in the park, opposite the colony- a grandfather-grandson pair, who  invariably comes on Sundays and sits on a bench under a a gulmohar tree . They read – laugh – read – laugh … read … Every morning the park is at its vibrant best when joggers in their colorful jogging suits, kids at their squealing best, and birds at their chirping best, raise a storm there. The protagonist also starts going to the park on Sundays, and tries to eavesdrop on their conversation and finds that the two are always reading and discussing books. Then suddenly books start disappearing from his house …. #About the Author Dr. Santosh Bakaya Recipient of many national and international awards, academic - poet -essayist- novelist - biographer – editor -Ted Speaker –  creative-writing mentor, Dr. Santosh Bakaya has been internationally acclaimed  for her Poetic biography of Mahatma Gandhi, [Ballad of Bapu].
