Having attended three literature festivals this year back-to-back, I've concluded that it is possible to have a wonderful time once you've avoided crowds chasing unlikely heartthrob Sudha Murty and English thesaurus on the cheap Shashi Tharoor, the former actually requiring a bodyguard to protect her from demanding schoolchildren and college students (and one Narayana Murthy fan). This is the first time I've seen a children's book author requiring a bodyguard. The first festival I went to this season was in Bangalore. And it was around a swimming pool. (Whyever not?).
