In the session titled “Wizard of Words”, held at The Hindu Lit Fest, publisher and author David Davidar focuses on the aspect that has defined Mr Shashi Tharoor for most of his life: his love for language and words.

Mr. Tharoor gave his father credit for imparting this love to his son. “He wrote the most marvellous letters,” he said, noting that his father also had an obsession with word games, often setting puzzles and games for Mr. Tharoor and his sisters, including an early form of Wordle.
