Finally, it's out there.
Update: It is definitely available in Landmark bookstore, Gurgaon (and in Chennai and Mumbai, I hear). I spotted it, unfortunately, under 'Quotations', right next to 'Psychology', instead of in the poetry section. It made me fret, but I felt foolish about fretting personally, so got a cousin to get the shop assistants to correct the mistake. But in case anybody goes there and can't find the book under 'poetry', you know where to look.
Congratulations. Must get.
ReplyDeletego girl!

ReplyDeletePerhaps someone could review the book.
Obviously there are some enthusiastic readers/friends, any taker?
CONGRATULATIONS! That's FANTASTIC. Hope it does incredibly well.
ReplyDeleteHave found a review at http://www.ryze.com/posttopic.php?topicid=816534&confid=1199. I get a perception of the writing ...
ReplyDeleteThere is an aspect when the love (at one level) exceeds and enhances you and simultaneously (at another level) 'defines' you more clearly (it makes you more 'you'). It is a kind of dance between the micro- and the macrocosm, e.g., classic 'nataraj' posture that is static yet points to the dynamic.
Such are the words for describing love (boy, Wittgenstein would have had a field day over this) ...
> ... boy, Wittgenstein would have had a field day over this
ReplyDeleteI guess that is unknown turf.
