  • Congratulations!! So let’s have some details about this hush-hush book. We’ve been waiting for a long long time! When does it hit the bookstands?

  • Oh, by the way, I’ve been going through your archives lately, and will be putting together your best quips since you started posting. Even right now, I can quote quite a bit from your past post a la Churchill quoting Shakespeare (am I ambitious with my analogies or what!)

  • Congratulations! Can u tell us the title of the book at least?

    Also, if you need someone to review the book..or parts of it..I can do that. I have worked as a reviewer and editor for about 2 years, so it would be easy for me to give feedback. Let me know.

  • brilliant !! well done, congrats ! Can’t wait to get my hands on it. Can also see you surrounded by nubile nymphets, page 3 babes (and aunties like Shobaaa Deeee), TV channels et al ! Beware of stalkers tho’…you already have someone who’s putting together your best quotes…saavdhaan !

    Can’t wait for MM…

  • A BOOK !!..as in tomes they keep in library??..u can phew again..

    expecting something more interesting than an IIT Grads affair (read number.number somone)…
    but one lakh eleven thousand words bros..!!!.gotta give it to you..

  • hi sidin,
    remember saving some of ur messages in the good ol’ d-babb days (free LAN music and movies were vying for that same limited comp space…says something about those posts). ya so am sure ur book is goin to be a BIG hit!

    on the mag, why a monday mag and not something where ppl get to see regular…daily, hourly watever… updates? afterall, who would like to read monday news (even if its not ‘news’) sitting on a friday or saturday! my gut feel is most office-goers have little time for ‘lunch-break literature’ and most of active blogging happens on weekends or by students.
    there…i’ve just gyanned an ex-conman!

  • Hearty Congratulations, Sidin! Have been reading your blogs regularly, (and waiting impatiently for them!!) for the last few months, but my first comment I guess!
    Must say I admire you quite a bit, and the way you write is not the biggest reason!

    Delighted to hear you’ve finished your book! Pity I’m abroad right now, so for your sake as much as mine, am hoping it’s going to be an international launch!!!

    Wish you the best in your endeavors!

  • Hey sidin…nice to hear…jus waiting man…will grab a copy once launched..All the best – Krishna

    And have you got your publicity plan in place? R u being positioned as hot blogger turned author?

  • Hey Sidin,

    Congrats! That was pretty darn quick! Waiting for the book to hit the stands!

    Ashwin.

  • congrats!
    must be a wonderful feeling of achievement..
    🙂
    do let us know the title…will surely buy a copy…

  • dude, congrats!

    i can just see u being interviewed by rajdeep sardesai (no wait, he just does bumbling politicians). ok so sonia varma (she’s way hotter than rajdeep anyway). you’ll be like the hottest thing since sliced bread (or even chocolate).

    when does it hit the stands? is it a “funny” book? or are you turning serious? if the blog response is anything to go by, you’ve pre-sold.

  • whooppppeeeeeedoooppeeeeyaaabbbaaadabbabadoooooo!!!!! 😀 😀 😀
    Eagerly awaiting first print run!!
    wots the cover going to look like?? Saw yesterday’s S&TC episode with Carrie Bradshaw struggling to get her Book cover pic right?!! Willing to be your personal stylist!!! :P!

  • Congrats Sidin!! Way to go. Been reading ur blog for a long time now. Eagerly awaiting ur book.

    way to go sidin!

  • Congrats, Sid. How about a peek sneek ( a few paragraphs) for the loyal readers of your post..

    When is the book slated to hit the stands ??

  • congrats sidin!!!!!

    hey, could u put the preview in the net ?
    or lemme know where to find ur books in US, would love to read it.

  • Congrats! I’m proud of you !!
    BTW in case the Bollywood reporters position is still vacant, lemme know- you know how much in-depth knowledge I have on “Ma-kasam-badla-loonga” and the likes!

  • U sure ur book is gonna hit the Bookstores only and not the road-side book-wallas!??
    May we buy from them??
    ;))

  • Yo Buddy!

    Add one to that count of books that’ll be sold.

    Am sure it’ll be worth a read, in either case – If its the Domain Maximus types or TWW types.

    Waiting to see The Monday Mumbaikar. Or whatever you’ll call it. Guess the details willbe out soon, but just wish its not as low-frequently as a weekly.

    Me.

  • Dude, I’m getting restless. No blogging, no news about your book or your magazine from your side. :-\

  • Oh wow, congrats, I look forward to it, Sidin. I wonder why I dont get th enotifications of new posts on your blog anymore.
