The dusty, messy treasure houses of second-hand yellow books have always excited me. Netaji, a character in my play, Sadasarvada Purvapar (2019), is drawn from the second-hand booksellers I have met. Surrounded by so many books, Netaji loves spending long hours with a bidi in mouth and the famous Sanjay Dutt starrer 'O mere Sajan Sajan’ song at the background.
