#WorldBookDay As an avid reader myself, I have found that the simplest act of turning a page can become the beginning of the most profound journey, enabling us to reflect, gain perspective and grow in this fast-moving world. Shoutout to The Story Keeper, located in the YouthNet Building near Kohima College. I look forward to visiting on my next trip to Kohima. @narendramodi @AmitShah @NitinNabin @blsanthosh

How nice to have @penthrill featured here.☺️
