The Award will be given away at The Hindu Lit For Life in January 2017

After Apoorva’s Food Diary and Meanie.Com, here are two more diaries to take you through January 2015 and June and July of 2015. The first is Dear Aunty , when Apoorva is asked to be the secret Agony Aunt and offer her solutions to letters written by her schoolmates. In Laugh Out Loud , Apoorva has to deal with new teachers, new students and new jokes about herself. She decides the best way to get through these tough times would be to Laugh Out Loud!
