Believe it, or not. But, it’s true. More than a dozen copies of a poetry book have been sold at a wine shop. Guess? Which book it may be? Think a little more, or just wait. Recently, I sent a mail to my friends, asking the same question. And, of course, their reply was same. Now, what you’ve been thinking?
“Madhushala”[
The poetic composition by Harivansh Rai Bachchan, father of Film star Amitabh Bachchan. In Madhushala, the poet has described about the tenets of wine-liquor and all those ingredient concerned with it]
“No.” The answer is absolutely wrong. And, the right answer is : “Almari men rakh diya hai ghar” Well, this is the special poetic composition which has scored a historic record of sale at a wine shop. Fifteen plus copies of this book were sold at the wine shop in Sector - 12 of NOIDA.
"The salesman at the shop almost daily used to ask for my book," says Mr.
Brajeshwar Madan, the poet and noted film critic, adding, “One day I gave my book to him. The supervisor was watching the same.” “Sir, can you give one copy too. I’ll pay for it,” quoting the supervisor, says Mr. Madan. After getting the book, the supervisor requested Mr. Madan to sign on the book. He told Mr. Madan that he’d gift the book to his wife who is an M.Phill. [
Recently the shop was closed.]
Your attention publishers! Could you still reject the dream of budding poetic talents? Think once again, before it’s too late.
