    Oh, by the way, I’ve been going through your archives lately, and will be putting together your best quips since you started posting. Even right now, I can quote quite a bit from your past post a la Churchill quoting Shakespeare (am I ambitious with my analogies or what!)

    Congratulations! Can u tell us the title of the book at least?

    Also, if you need someone to review the book..or parts of it..I can do that. I have worked as a reviewer and editor for about 2 years, so it would be easy for me to give feedback. Let me know.

    hi sidin,
    remember saving some of ur messages in the good ol’ d-babb days (free LAN music and movies were vying for that same limited comp space…says something about those posts). ya so am sure ur book is goin to be a BIG hit!

    on the mag, why a monday mag and not something where ppl get to see regular…daily, hourly watever… updates? afterall, who would like to read monday news (even if its not ‘news’) sitting on a friday or saturday! my gut feel is most office-goers have little time for ‘lunch-break literature’ and most of active blogging happens on weekends or by students.
    there…i’ve just gyanned an ex-conman!

    Hearty Congratulations, Sidin! Have been reading your blogs regularly, (and waiting impatiently for them!!) for the last few months, but my first comment I guess!
    Must say I admire you quite a bit, and the way you write is not the biggest reason!

    Delighted to hear you’ve finished your book! Pity I’m abroad right now, so for your sake as much as mine, am hoping it’s going to be an international launch!!!

    Wish you the best in your endeavors!
    - Jayaram

    dude, congrats!

    i can just see u being interviewed by rajdeep sardesai (no wait, he just does bumbling politicians). ok so sonia varma (she’s way hotter than rajdeep anyway). you’ll be like the hottest thing since sliced bread (or even chocolate).

    when does it hit the stands? is it a “funny” book? or are you turning serious? if the blog response is anything to go by, you’ve pre-sold.

    Yo Buddy!

    Add one to that count of books that’ll be sold.

    Am sure it’ll be worth a read, in either case - If its the Domain Maximus types or TWW types.

    Waiting to see The Monday Mumbaikar. Or whatever you’ll call it. Guess the details willbe out soon, but just wish its not as low-frequently as a weekly.
