    Pardon my lateness in conveying this message, but I do hope your life has returned somewhat to a level of normalcy (if at all possible) after the devastating attack on your beloved city.

    ps, make sure they are carrying your book! new and used! the funny thing about used book sales, they tend to drive new book sales!

    glad to help. i still am amazed that anyone would not serve india. is your package delivery unreliable, or does your currency fluctuate wildly? i know there are probably lots of negatives in try to serve such a huge country, but it seems like the size of the market would make you as desirable as the us australia, canada and england combined...

    buoyant,
    i saw your thread about edgy books and wasn't looking to advertise, so i thought i'd post a link to a thread from the fiction effect group about the most unusual books people have read:
    http://www.shelfari.com/groups/10979/discussions/4453/what-is-the-most-unusual-book-you-have-ever-read-

    there's some great stuff in there.

    Oh and by the way, a sea of poppies? How lovely! How kind of you as well. Reminds me of the poem "In Flanders Field." Food centric books...hmm...gimme a day or two to meditate on that genre and I'll get back to you...*s*

    Just sliding on thru to check out what you're reading these days. I've been away awhile as I've moved back to London. But things have settled down quite abit and it's time to peruse some books...*grin*

    Hope this finds you well.

    Hi,Thanks for being my friend. I went through your pictures and found them wonderful.I loved your pics of the Teapot in Kochi. As I am a tea addict I think it would be heavenly to sit there and sip tea. Many of your pictures are from Kerala which we had visited in 1999 and found to be beautiful.Did you like ' God of Small Things'.I have lived in Bombay for a long time and found your Marine Drive pictures very eloquent.Whenever I see young couples sharing a quiet moment in this maddeningly crowded city I send up a secret prayer for them to find happiness in each others company for ever.That is how foolish I am!

    Most welcome! I hope you enjoy some of them. The New Yorker book is a particular favorite of mine -- lots of little bits and pieces to dip into!
