This & That... Then & Now

It was in 1965 after retirement that I started writing my autobiography, which was published in 2009. The excellent feedback I got for my book and my style of writing made me start writing on a variety of topics that affect people on a day-to-day basis. Some stories compared the situations between now and the olden/golden days . My Travelogue on 106 Divya Desams (106 Tirupathis) was published in the Open Page of the Hindu issue dated 26th June 2011. The 200 odd mails, I got from readers of the Hindu from all over the world (apart from scores of phone calls and SMS messages) made me realise that I had arrived as a writer.

Looking at the number of articles I had written in three years, a few friends suggested that I bring out a collection of them in book form. Though the Internet offers enough opportunities to reach a wider audience, there’s nothing like a printed book in your hands. Judging by the growing popularity of printed books by Indian authors in English, it is clear that there is still a good demand for printed books. So here I am, with my second book, a collection of articles on topics with which you can relate to and relax. You can open it on any page, or choose any topic and read it. If nothing else I promise you a good `time pass`
