Anubha: For constantly being there when I though I wouldn’t be able to make it.
Gopi: For guiding me when I got stuck without even once making me feel like a fool! :D 
And of course, Aap sab ko to Thank you hai hi hai!! Without you guys this blog would not have existed and without this blog my book would not have been born.

Cheerssss
Now waiting to get my copy signed by her majesty the Author!!!
August 26, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Congrats. BTW have you taken an ISBN Number for the book too? One of my friends asked me in college if I will be publishing a book. I immediately said ‘Yes, I will publish my autobiography!’ That was an instantaneous reaction which made me realize that I had it in my mind. See, publishing a book is a dream for so many of us, and you have done it already! But in my case, I might have to wait for another thirty three years to publish it!! Well you gotta live life to publish autobiography no ?

The procedure to get ISBN is under precess. Thanks for the reminder though
And if you have it in you to publish a book.. go for it! Why wait for 30 years With something else just to keep your writing skills honed and then you will be a pro and will manage to write a superb autobiography. you will be able to write even those things which didn’t happen with you!! just kidding! But on a serious note, if you feel you want to do something, go for it!
August 26, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Forgot to add: You have been tagged on the topic ‘Fast Furious and Danceable songs’

August 30, 2009 at 10:50 pm
can still be done – books are printed by pothi on demand, so its not that they have printed copies of your book ready.
August 30, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Awesome Sakhi!!! Congratulations! Double treat now!! Yay, yay, yippee, yippee
August 31, 2009 at 10:59 pm
It’s lovely, congratulations!!!
Another section in your long CV – successful author of short stories!
I’ll buy your book! How was the publishing experience with PoD? I want to write some books in the future, too
September 1, 2009 at 8:06 am
Experience with them is good no doubt but response of the readers can be seen only after a few days. Its too early to comment. Also check lulu.com its good too!
September 1, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Wow, congratulations Sakhi! Your blog posts deserves to be in a book, it is fun and interesting! It is a neat idea to use the self publishing tool to create a book. BTW, I voted for you at Indiblogger, who better for best short stories!
September 1, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Thank you so much for the warm wishes and of course the vote…
How is your spiritual journey coming along?

September 6, 2009 at 10:02 pm
hey,
your success is an inspiration. i do attempt at writing as well on my blog http://thejinxedone.blogspot.com . its only recently that i have started writing short stories, though they started out as narration of real life events.
how did it start for u?
September 14, 2009 at 3:31 pm
hey thanks for your visit… I started with fiction and even now, most of my stories are pure fiction. But people think they are bits and pieces of my real life. I take that as complements
Will definitely visit your blog. Sorry for the late reply.
September 11, 2009 at 12:38 am
Received the book today Read a few stories. Short and sweet…
