I'm not sure why I am able to overlook them - it's not like I'm a huge sucker for SRK-Kajol.

Here's an example: at the Kolkata launch, the people at the venue (Oxfordbookstore) arranged for someone to be in conversation with me at the event. She was a writer and academician, and apparently thought her job was to analyse the book, not promote it. So she spent 1/2 hr telling me - in front of the entire audience - how I should have written the book. And she gave away major chunks of the plot. "So-and-so was a fascinating character. So why did you kill them off after just one scene?" Yeah. That helps encourage other people to buy the book, I'm sure.<br /><br />And then there was someone in Chennai who said, "This fiction is only hobby. Now that you have done so much research, you should write a book analysing the downfall of the Mughal empire and its causes." Telling him that there are dozens of historians who're light-years ahead of me in that field, didn't have an effect. <br /><br />I hope this round is easier!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-50385094207801147682009-11-19T06:26:34.086+01:002009-11-19T06:26:34.086+01:00From what your said of your last one, I can imagin...From what your said of your last one, I can imagine it being very tiring!
