My first book is now available

For those - admittedly a very few - who follow these blogs, I am indeed happy to inform that my first book,” O my darling, India” is out.This has been published by Writers Workshop, Kolkata; the same people who first published Vikram Sheth, Pritish Nandy, and Jug Suraiya and the rest who went on the blaze the literary world.

Here is how you can procure this book: Just email your requests at writersworkshopkolkata@gmail.com asking about the price of “O my darling, India” by Sathyanarayanan and they would be happy to revert with price including postage.

It was a long-cherished hope that I publish my first book before I turned 40. I almost made it overshooting the mark by 4 months.

I will never insist that you go in haste and order the book. It is not a classic but eminently readable. So if you are an old time reader to the posts, maybe you would be interested as to how I concoct tales. But either way, it is not going to change the world or even you but aims at providing a few moments of solace.

With this I come to end of blogging here. It started in June, 2006 and I still remember the first post. Over the years, I have close to over 600 posts most of them in blogspot. I owe a debt of gratitude to these meaningless posts but they certainly did sharpen my pen. Maybe, it evolved me into a writer that I am today. Thank you and God bless.

I quit iland because I really don’t have a need today. I thank it for the evolution it provided. Let’s just say that I graduate finally. In any case most of these blogs were reposts from blogspot. As they say in Arabic, Sukran Jazillan. Thank you manifold.

(My old blogs for those interested are: http://writersathya.blogspot.com and http://observesathya.blogspot.com. Though I am averse to blogging, I might post a few now and then)
