The August Rush



This August has been by far the most magical August of my life!

Giving you all a quick recap on what’s happened in the past three weeks of the book release-

My book was out on the 1st. It’s in the front rack of all the book stores and to my good karma, the books have been moving from the shelf. Have got some great, rather humbling reviews from readers..

Received an amazing review in Sunday Times in the first week after the I Am Another YOU was out.. Was the Quick Pick recommendation by Mid Day in the second.. And the third ended with a two page great feature carried by Mumbai Mirror this Sunday.. And from what I can sense this is just the beginning.. There’s more to come. It’s really divinity in action somewhere!!!

Also, in this dry-dry-wet-dry spell, there has been a downpour of congratulation smses, appreciation calls and admiration emails via all the verbal and non-verbal means of communication possible. And this overwhelming response has truly been humbling.

With gratitude in my heart, I thank the entire universe for making this possible. And as a vote of my thanks, what I now intend to do is to publish few of these many reader feedbacks on a daily basis on the blog.

So, setting the ball rolling, here are the first few –

Have you ever heard of a book attracting a person? This is what happened when I bought your book from the Oxford bookshop in Churchgate last Saturday. I was on a short visit to Mumbai and went to the bookshop to pick few books. As I was about to leave, I chanced to pick your book among " New Arrivals" and felt compelled to buy it though to bookshop guys were not able to tell much except saying that this is a new book we recently received. On reaching home I started reading the book and found your story absolutely fascinating. Hats off to you for your honesty and engaging style. Your book is surely going to inspire a lot of people!

Fantastic book Priya! I don't know whether you remember but, I had attended one of your workshops last year when I so wished to capture all that you said somewhere. Now, with 'I Am Another You' I can do that. Honestly, your book is better than anything I have come across. It is simply mindblowing!
Cheers,Kapil
