Titled ‘Mind Blogs 1.0′, this is my first non fictional book brought out by my custom publishing house. Co-authored by two of my writer friends – Christina Daniels & Nirmala Govindarajan, the book is a mix of anecdotes and essays.
The slugline reads: Three Bangalore writers go offtrack and find themselves. If that’s making you ask what’s the book about, just visit the book blog (http://mindblogs1.wordpress.com) and know more on how you can make it your own and also be part of its sequel.
The book is brought out by Write Wing Media, my Bangalore-based firm and is priced at Rs 250. The ebook is available on Amazon.com (http://tinyurl.com/32t88mt) and Pothi.com (http://tinyurl.com/355q5oy). Author-signed paperbacks are available at 25% discount with free home delivery in India at Flipkart.com (http://tinyurl.com/34skkk6).
