i cant belive this..! that u commented in my blog..!!
actually i had read about your book.. and that you said that you used to unwind everyday evening after your work writing down what was close to your heart, in a newspaper..
it somehow stuck a cord in me..
iv wanted to write a book for some time but i am not getting the quiet time i need for it..
i was just reading your comment and seeing a new profile i clicked on it..
while i was waiting i thouhgt abt my book and somehow remembered your words about writing in the evenings..
on reading your profile i noted some similarities in our tastes. but what struck me was that i remembered your words i read somewhere few months back while i was waiting for your profile to appear..!!
strange..!! funny..! incredible..!!
hugs..!!
:))
and thanks for visiting my blog..
You forgot the 'Geetanjali Express'
Thanks for the visit.

Geets,
The honour is mine, was very glad you responded so quickly. I will surely get to the tag as soon as I get a chance. Happy to see you liked my review and share the same interest, did notice some of the books you mentioned as your favorites are mine too as To kill a mocking bird, Angela's ashes(currently reading) About publishing books :)) no, I am a very novice writer, still trying to get out a few short stories. Yeah that short stories blog is a private one, I have not opened it to public, might do when I have something concrete to share..I am stll in the look out for your book, will let you when I buy it and where I have bought it from. Thanks for adding my blog on urs. I have added you too.. BTW are there any UK specific online stores that sell your book, I couldn't find any !
Cheers,
Nav
