New Delhi:
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will pen her autobiography which in her words is an attempt "to look at myself in a different light".
Slated for release in August, this book with interesting anecdotes from her personal and professional life promises to endear the persona of Mamata.
"...is an attempt to look at myself in a different light, to come face to face with another me, to rediscover my other self," says the Trinamool Congress chief, who was instrumental in dethroning the Left Front after 34 years in power.
"A book full of personal anecdotes and family details, her early years as a politician are interesting because they are a candid account of how a girl from very middle-class moorings suddenly got thrown into the deep end of regional and national politics," says publisher Roli Books.
The book will have mention of her first trip abroad to Kuala Lampur where she was in for a shock when she realised there was nobody to receive her at the airport.
Mamata also shares how she made friends with a Thai girl in the Malaysian capital and bonded with her.
Equally interesting are the details about her first trip to the US where she bought chapsticks as gifts for her family back home thinking she was buying lipsticks.
