“Sound, Camera, Action!”

Sometimes, when the Porters are not watching us, we sneak into the Special Collections zone before the readers are allowed in, and play at being Bollywood stars, standing in front of the C.C.T.V. camera, and reciting our favourite lines of dialogue. Govinder and Shabana watch, as I pretend to be Kajol, in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Please don’t tell the Superintendent!
