In 2008, the eminent Judges were:

From January – March 2010, Suresh & Jyoti are Resident Authors at the prestigious St. Stephen’s College, Delhi University, where they are writing their fourth book.  As of now, the only public knowledge is that this 4th novel does not continue the Insanity Saga, being completely unrelated to the world of the Calaspia trilogy.

Suresh and Jyoti are two of the few teenagers to be included in this year’s “The 100 Most Important Swiss” (“Die 100 Wichtigsten Schweizer”) by Schweizer Illustrierte, in their annual 1st of August (Swiss national day) special edition.

Delhi Book Launch: 200 guests mingled in the picturesque surroundings of Lodi Garden Restaurant as Guests of Honour, Tarun Tejpal and Chief Minister Sheila Dixit, officially launched Calaspia in India.   Press journalists, photographers and camera crews crowded around the twins to interview them for all the major national papers and television stations.

Goa Book Launch: Held at the Cidade de Goa Hotel, the line up on the press conference panel included the Governor of Goa, His Excellency S. C. Jamir, renowned poet Sudeep Sen and social reformer Dr Vishal Mangalwadi.  Following an interview and speeches by the Guests of Honour, the twins read an extract each from Calaspia.

Two days later, another reading.  In the unique surroundings of the cosy Literati book café, 30 people gathered for a ‘come and share’ evening of poetry reciting, songs, music and book readings. Sudeep Sen and Ivan Kostka shared their poems, Jyoti Guptara read an extract from Calaspia, and Talvin Singh shared his tabla skills – improvising impressively on earthenware pots to the delight of the audience! A magical evening.

After Goa, Jyoti went on to Bangalore and Chennai (Madras) to promote Calaspia with Indian book chain Odyssey.

On Friday the eighth of October, I was sitting on my father & mother’s bed talking with them about our book and publishers.  I mentioned the Frankfurt Book fair, and my father told me a little about it.  My brother had suggested that it would be better to go once I was already published, and not go to seek out publishers.  My father said that actually it could be a good way of getting questions answered and receiving advice.

‘It’s on now, though,’ I said, ’apparently.’

‘Why don’t you run upstairs and find out then?’ said my father.  ‘Quickly do an internet search.  If it is on at present, then we’ll have to act fast.  We need a synopsis, and some copies of the manuscript.’ More >
