If you enjoy stories infused with wit, imagination, and a delightful dose of wonder, this collection is a treat! This book by @khyru brings together charming, humorous, and heartwarming tales that capture the magic hidden in everyday life.

It was such a lovely evening! Thank you so much, @ShashiTharoor , for launching the ninth Butterfingers book, and for your lovely words, @abhikini , my excellent illustrator, Minna, the girl wonder, and everyone who was present, for adding to the joy of the evening!

Some people collect stamps; I collect @khyru 's Butterfingers books — but with a much greater purpose: launching them into the world. Yesterday I launched the ninth in the series, this one in comic book format, alongside the gifted illustrator @abhikini. Khyru is a gifted storyteller and a master plotter; she’s India’s answer to Enid Blyton, and in the clumsy but ultimately triumphant Butterfingers, she has created a child hero to equal Billy Bunter. Great fun!
Presented the first copy of the new one to Minna, whom I first “met” when she was inside her mother, and whom I had initiated into the world of letters at a Vidyarambham years ago!

Shashank Singh, the unsung hero.💔
No headlines, no hype.
Just heart, grit, and a knock that’ll fade in silence.
Missed it by one ball, but won a million hearts.
No ego, no noise, just pure cricket.
