One lakh eleven thousand words (Minor edits and additions expected). My book is complete! <Clenched fist pumping in the air in triumph!>
Bookstands here I come! Sneak previews after a preliminary round of proofing and re-drafting. A month behind schedule… but what the heck.
Now onward ho with the The Monday Mumbaikar! <New name and core team to be announced in a day or so!>
quite fast…good work…all the best!
Sidin,
I’m waiting impatiently
Waitin’ for it ….
Congrats, way to go! I’ll buy a copy for sure.
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…
Congrats, Will buy a copy too 🙂
awwwwwwwweeeeeeeesssssoooooooooomeeeee!!!!!
Best news i’ve heard alll day!
….waitin..waitin….
Way to go dude!! Eagerly awaiting both!!
Sidin,
Adhoke kollam, pakshe bukku eppol medikkan kittum? Eppozha launch date? Publisher ara?
Regards,
Prasanth
tada! here comes Sidin…
reveal the title at least!
A BOOK !!..as in tomes they keep in library??..u can phew again..
though i am loking forward to it..actually im not sure what im looking forward to..
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!
– Jayaram
Hey sidin…nice to hear…jus waiting man…will grab a copy once launched..All the best – Krishna

Hey Sidin,
Congrats! That was pretty darn quick! Waiting for the book to hit the stands!
Ashwin.
Good going man, who is the publisher? How long before it hits the stores?
congrats!

🙂

Looking forward to your book! I am sure it will be a best seller.

gusshow hai jee……ab bas yeh batadijiye ke padhne kab milegi…..
Congratulations Sidin.
Am sure your book will make a mark of of its own.
All the very best!
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, 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,
Do regular blog visitors get a signed copy?
Kanishka

or lemme know where to find ur books in US, would love to read it.
Congrats Sidin…send us a copy…signed of course
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!
PS: BTW am not proud of the name- used it cos of the instant recall value.
Congrats !!! All the best.
Congratulations :-))
Keep Rocking :-))
Can I buy the copy that’ll be available at signals? They are cheaper…
U sure ur book is gonna hit the Bookstores only and not the road-side book-wallas!??

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.
