Simply loved it. As a student i had several friends and cousins in boarding schools across India. So when i read about Paulites calling the locals barbarians it immediately rung a bell! I had a cousin in St. Paul who called all of us "buhbarians"! Anyway loved your book and looking forward to the next one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1128405420011812552005-10-04T11:27:00.000+05:302005-10-04T11:27:00.000+05:30Anonymous: I'm sure you understand that you'd have...Anonymous: I'm sure you understand that you'd have to send me a private email (from a proper ID, with your name etc mentioned) if you want that sort of information; can't put it here on Comments.

I enjoyed our conversation. Rumman: You're safe. Send coordinates and I'll buy you a drink when am next in Bangalore. BTW, good luck at Reuters. Anjali: Ouch. Jaideep/Boston: Tin Fish is not a FPS clone, my friend. Conceptualised earlier, and less clannish than FPS. Read Tin Fish and then we'll argue if you still disagree. Yes, Chetan is writing another book, on the BPO industry. He's now Rupa's established 'segment' cash-in, but he's welcome because at least he's getting many people to read. That's excellent. Bye now. Maybe we'll chat over my second book, set in Goa, and due Fall 2006. Stay well, all.

Then he got onto the phone with the Penguin representative here and bellowed down the phone at him for 10 solid minutes. After hanging up, he looks up like a lamb at the PR lady and me and says: "So what's up?" We both burst out laughing!Samanth Subramanian / Baradwaj Ranganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078186543089130094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1126273834732529762005-09-09T19:20:00.000+05:302005-09-09T19:20:00.000+05:30LOL.

I had to love it, no matter what. But, that aside, it truly is an enjoyable read. And a quick one too.<BR/><BR/>The banality of the language is most definitely the highlight.

I forget what the event was, but Sudeep first tried to sweet-talk this person into covering it for Today. But she refused to be persuaded. It was then that Sudeep exploded with a: "Stop being such a prima donna. I want you to go there and get the story NOW!" With that he banged down the phone. The story, as far as I remember, appeared in Today the following day.Tridibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324851679164286161noreply@blogger.com
