Sonny says… Yeh Dil Maange More

September 26, 2005

Abhijit,
I enjoyed M…..B….A immensely. Having started it I could not stop reading it and thankfully it was a great companion on a long international flight. You did brilliantly well in switching the pace and the narrative with multiple little plots in play was absolutely engrossing. Abbey was real and all of us who have been through a similar education pattern can relate with many of the characters. Great reading - I did not want the book to end. Yeh dil maange more!

The First Reading in US at Gautam and Ipsita’s

September 24, 2005

It was a lovely setting. Candles and soft music set the mood for the evening. It certainly helps that Ipsita is a very talented architect and interior designer. Gautam and Ipsita Goswami had chosen their living room area to create a great setting for a storytelling session. Gautam (an IIT and IIM-A alumnus and now a Prof at a Business School in New York) had already raced through most of the book earlier. He set the mood by sharing his perspective of the story and what he found interesting about the book. The smell of rain was still fresh in the air as we all huddled around on floor wrapped in sheets and rugs and talked about the book and our times in the college till the wee hours of the morning.
Thank you Gautam and Ipsita for making the first reading so memorable.
