He also spoke about his experiences till date and how he missed being in India while living abroad. Mr. Bond commented on the evolving nature of literature. All of this ended interestingly with a rapid fire round during which Mr. Bond went candid! Both events were a delight to attend. Parnika Mundra and Smrithi Sreekumar, class XI.
