POD in India

After putting-in days together researching, I finally found a POD (Print-On-Demand) publisher in India. The site Pothi.com is owned and managed by Mudranik Technologies Pvt. Ltd - a Bangalore based start-up in 2008. The company's got positive reviews from third party analyzers, independent bloggers, & partner websites.

I am glad to release my first love story "Love Connection" using services of Pothi.com, which can be reached by clicking the following link...

This certainly doesn't mean I wouldn't use Amazon henceforth, of course I will, but to reach out my dear friends and family members residing in India, I would use Pothi.com

Thank You for checking this out in advance. I hope you'll love the offering.

Artist Next Door

Attached is a satirical piece (of course, which doesn't depict me) for those who literally do not bother for artists - standing, sitting, living, or dying just beside them. I wonder why famous artists the world over are propagated, whilst ignoring amateur or budding artists all the way through, whom they know personally.

I do know as most of us are - All those greats too, started small, but they were appreciated and encouraged by their friends, relatives, and investors to make it big one day.

Even I love those inspiring greats, but first I would love to encourage and appreciate artists whom I know personally and meet on the path of my life, instead of blatantly ignoring their works.

What do these artists need – just a word of praise to encourage their art or maybe constructive criticism to enhance their creativity?

I did die doing this.

Am aware, this sounds harsh, but think this happens day in day out.

My sincere apologies to all for hurting attachments.

I really am indebted to everyone who have read, appreciated, and shared my work/s on SCRIBD, facebook, twitter, Amazon and assisted me, get published.

I never ever thought I ever would write for children, but love for children and their genuine smiles, made me do this.

I am pleased to share with you my short story book “Once upon a time...” being published yesterday.

Also, I would like to thank all everyone here; who read, commented, and appreciated my other work/s.

I am full of gratitude toward everyone.

Here’s wishing you & yours – A Happy 2013.
