On The last day of MBIFL19 ,

I Came up to the summit A Bit late , As I had to travel from Puthiyathura to Kanakukunu Palace , Where the summit was held .

My plan was to have a quick glance at all the corners and start Roaming at my favorite few . And complete the checklist I came up with . I had my sponsor with me who wanted a few Clicks from me in exchange of complete days expenses . I knew I wouldn’t have been a Burden . Cause I am kinda tightwad .

So as soon as I stepped in after looking at the cute couple’s sitting around the entrance . I wanted to take some pics . But didn’t wanna scare them and I didn’t wanna look like a creep so I moved from there also I had a task And it was to Roam around in search of nothing . So I was moving with a pace as for there weren’t much people around . I assumed to take a Sprint around in about 15 minutes .

But as soon as I entered next to the session next to Poetree . My sprinting footsteps softened and Final stopped at a fine place to sit as I was eagerly listening to a story teller who was somewhat a familiar face . But I didn’t know who it was . I have seen him a hundred times. But never bothered to know his name but his storytelling that was about the youth fantasy . Attracted me it had a innocence of the young adult teenager. Who was attracted to a maid I believe . It’s not that me as a teenager felt sensual nota . but infact the way he told the story and how he brought the curiosity of the teenager along side the sensual part of it and also reality of have to tell the experience to a best friend . It intrigued me and I was just hooked to him . I asked to a girl next to me do you know this guy . She replied

Madhupal sir

Atu arilla Madhupal Sir !

U really don’t know Madhupal Sir !

And I smiled and didn’t wanna make myself look like a Clown so I Decided to Google him . And ya Google said it . Madhupal who was a malayam film director/writer . That’s all and his picture but as I was searching the next reader began the reading. And I was syched . So I took a screenshot and settled my ass on a chair next to me .

The next reader looked young and he was also having an awesome nice voice and also emersive storytelling . I Remember I had to leave but said to myself I’ll be leaving just after it

I then asked a person next to me and they said it was Shaji sir .

P.V.Shaji

He talks about childhood storyteller Auntie who inspired people to tell stories . Who could bring out right story for the right person . And who that because an inspiration for him in childhood .

I was overwhelmed that I was sitting amongst such great people who I Never knew . I’ll make sure to meet these guys and inculcate a Little storytelling ability from them .

His recitation of the story was really immersive and soothing to listen to .

Shahina Rafiq

Then Came Shahina Rafiq . Her works seamed a Little unique as for she wrote a wrote in her books the conversation of a couple which was very realistic and also cute and funny her stories were funny but the crowd seemed to be very stoic . Which was sad . Ok so Shahina Rafiq is a Film Director . As a aspirant of filmmaking I need to learn alot about the people in the industry .

So as all three reading acts finished people surrounded them with amazing chats for them but I never go to people to meet that is because I am quite an introvert in the beginning .

This blog is a short one . And I hope you like it.
