Meet Laxman Rao, Tea Seller, Novelist and Student | Read

Laxman Rao is a tea-seller with a difference. A loyal clientele throngs his small roadside stall in the bustling ITO area. They come not only for the brew, but also a taste of his words. Mr Rao, 62, is an award-winning author of 12 published books, which are based on real-life stories of his customers and other people around. He has a Facebook page, his books are selling on Amazon and Flipkart and one has been translated to English and is available on kindle. But the journey from Maharashtra's Amravati district to a flourishing writing career in Delhi was full of bends.
