A trip down memory lane

CHENNAI: Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi took a trip down memory lane at a book fair organised by the Book Sellers and Publishers Association of South India (BAPASI) here on Saturday.

He spent nearly 45 minutes at the fair.

His daily contributions to the DMK party organ `Murasoli', other essays and writings since he was 13 years old have found a place in the `Kavignar Arivukoodam'. BAPASI representatives, who accompanied him, expressed wonder at his recollection of pieces he had written in the 1940s.

Though the Chief Minister arrived half an hour after the fair opened for visitors in the morning, several hundred people were left outside to wait for his departure.

Everyone, including mediapersons, was asked to stay off during Mr. Karunanidhi's visit to the stalls.

Many who arrived early waited for 90 minutes till he left. As a placating gesture, the BAPASI allowed everyone to enter without tickets.
