More XLer authors (94, 98 and 99batch) - forthcoming books

In case you people want to know about a certain book - a collection of short stories - "Drizzle of Yesteryears" - written by a certain XL G-Sec of 99batch, who currently lives in Kuala Lumpur, and in his free time does restructuring of a certain FMCG MNC..

(the more you pester them, the earlier they will bring out the title - these publishers, otherwise, are worse than XL students when it comes to on-time submission... they take there own sweet time...

I mean, look at what is happening to the book "Unequal Equations" (Pragya Prakashan) written by S Ministhy, IAS (98PMIR) - it is pending since last 2 months!!)... same with Anu Kumar's (1994PMIR) novel "Letters for Paul" (Mapin Publication)

[PG Wodehouse had once desired that publishers should be fed to bears - he was perhaps correct in his sentiments, except that to get books published, one needs a publisher:(
... unless one blogs;0)

Any other XL authors around?
;0)

  1. Shoma Narayana nee Mookerjee (BMD '99) won a Cartier pen from DNA for a short story she wrote for their weekly magazine.

    It's a two page story and you can read it here:
