Weekend at Bangalore Literature Festival 2025 Part 1

Maynk

Originally a stand-up comic, Vir Das became a household name in India after his breakthrough role in the 2011 dark comedy film Delhi Belly. After a short and successful stint in Bollywood, Vir turned to stand-up comedy in 2017 and became the first Indian comedian to score a comedy special on Netflix. One show led to another, and then the first Emmy nomination for Vir Das: Outside In. Now an international celebrity, his fame reached a new high with the 2023 International Emmy Award for Best Comedy Series for the Netflix comedy special Vir Das: Landing.

And now, one of India’s best comic exports came back to his home soil with his debut book, The Outsider: A Memoir for Misfits.

Reading is one of the best ways to improve your vocabulary and get familiar with the sentence structure in a conversation. Although reading books is a staple for learning, reading hundreds of pages of thousands of words often feels like a chore. That's where blogs come to the rescue, especially the ones on interviews. 

Here is my diary of the Bangalore Literature Festival 2025, where I covered one of the main events.
