Receiving Books from a Friend in New York: A Pleasant Surprise

Friendship and Surprises: A Pleasant Delivery from New York

In a world where surprises can be both pleasant and unpleasant, a recent delivery from Blue Dart courier brought a delightful surprise to a journalist in Mysuru. M.P. Prabhakaran, a long-time friend residing in New York, sent two books to his old acquaintance, sparking a wave of nostalgia and excitement.

The friendship between the journalist in Mysuru and Prabhakaran dates back to their days as journalists in Mumbai in the late 1960s. Despite being separated by continents and oceans, their bond remained strong over the years. Both pursued the same profession of writing, with Prabhakaran also delving into teaching for several years.

The books sent by Prabhakaran, titled ‘How I Spoke My Mind and Created Enemies Around’ and ‘How I Responded to Blunders of Donald Trump via The New York Times,’ offer a unique insight into his social and political commentaries over the past two decades. The collection of articles published in The East-West Inquirer, an online monthly of which he is the Editor and Publisher, showcases his unwavering honesty and courage of conviction.

The first book contains 46 articles that delve into various topics, while the second book focuses on Prabhakaran’s responses to the actions of former President Donald Trump. As a fan of American politics, the journalist in Mysuru finds Trump to be an intriguing figure, making the second book a particularly interesting read.

Prabhakaran’s addiction to reading The New York Times since his arrival in America in 1975 led to a habit of commenting on the stories and reports in the paper. While many of his comments may not have been published, his dedication to sharing his thoughts speaks volumes about his passion for writing and engaging with current events.

With the upcoming Presidential election in the United States, where Trump is expected to be the Republican candidate, Prabhakaran’s insights and reactions could prove to be valuable for the journalist in Mysuru. The easy-flowing style of writing in the books makes them a compelling read for anyone interested in American politics and social commentary.

Published by The East-West Inquirer and powered by Pothi.com, the books offer a low-priced opportunity for readers to delve into the mind of a seasoned journalist and commentator. As the journalist in Mysuru prepares to explore the contents of the books, the delivery from New York serves as a reminder of the enduring power of friendship and the joy of unexpected surprises.
