Thats what them Malaysians say when they meet someone!
Now before I put down all my copious notes and research on Malaysia into a decent-sized travelogue I need to put the nose to the grindstone and catch up with hajaar pending work. And also put out some notices.
Notice 1: The book project is coming along nicely. A few publishers are being spoken too. It will be anthology of essays, articles and travel pieces. Best blogs, and columns and so on. And a lot of new material. So spare a prayer for that. Let’s hope it makes a little whimper amongst all the screaming from new english writers in India everywhere
You can help me by telling which posts are definitely shoo in. So drop me a plugoo when you get the time.
Notice 2: In other news I have a couple of excellent internships up for grabs. Six month long projects with an interesting outfit who is assessing HR practises within top name companies and then bringing out a high profile report. (Top!) Perfect for someone looking to do an MBA and searching out for a great project / CV point. So if you are interested, OR, know someone who is then drop me a mail right away. Use. the ‘I’m Listening’ link on top. Two people is all I need. BTW good money, fame, networking and moderate publicity.
(Update @ 4:54 PM IST: The internship is Full Time. So sorry if you are a strategy consultant looking for more work ‘cos his work-life balance simply does not suck enough.)
More posts and updates as the day progresses.
Travails – goes without saying. Your one on cricket (though I didnt like it much) – would be a winner. I think you should go by the number of comments. The more comments it generated – the better it can be to go into the book. The one on Pink Floyd also was pretty good…
More as we go through them… and for sure – I’m buying the book so dont make it too expensive Mr. Budding IWE (indian writer in english). And all the best!!!
Organize the book into
Cricket,
Finance/economy,
Corporate India ( this includes your advices to managers and HR … so on) ,
College Life
Entertainment
I also remember you writing reviews on motorcyclyes. I am not sure why you don’t do that anymore, there is a lot of potential for that in India especially for cars. I can help you if you want it. Check http://www.edmunds.com for a mainstream reviews or http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com for a more straight face humorous reviews.
Good luck,
its not about making it to big league of indian english writers , but its about creating your own brand or style, and you have got it.
I want all of the posts in the book 😀 n yes pls dont make it expensive 🙂
Apparently, Scott Adams of the Dilbert fame had the same idea about a book. His book hit the shelves today and has a cool wacky title. Wondering what will you name yours.
[…] He is currently hawking for publishers and I’m sure he’ll find one soon. Currently, he is asking his readers to select potential posts that could be included in his book. Head over and help him out. That way, you can re-read some of […]
The best one of the lot iswhy shouthies dont get any… 🙂 thats an all time winner
