Jaipur Litfest’s “cool” quotient

Recently I came across a blogpost that asked the question “Who are the most avid readers in the world?”. To my utter shock, the answer was: Indians. I read the piece with disbelief, checked out the infographic that corroborated the write-up and was pretty amazed at the findings. According to the World Culture Score Index, Indians spend more than 10 hours per week reading! Despite the numbers I remained skeptical. Until I visited the Jaipur Litfest!
