Shashi Tharoor looked a bit tired after returning home from the UAE Friday but he took out 30 minutes from his packed schedule to release author Chetan Bhagat’s new book.
An author himself, Tharoor said: “If I am the country’s political icon, Chetan is the country’s youth icon. Bhagat has been able to put together a language that sparkles with immediacy – he has been able to put a finger on the pulse. He knows the kind of people he is writing for.”
Tharoor says Bhagat’s books “are by an Indian, about Indians and for Indians”. He has managed to read the prologue of the book though he is carrying a copy of it to read in between international halts.
Needless to say, for Bhagat, “Tharoor is the most connected Indian”!
