Reminisces and the After Effects..

Deccan Chronicle's Party Whirl

In the Alwarpet and Nungai Times

Hello folks..Here's the first reader feedback from Dubai:-)

Dear Priya,

Let me take this chance to introduce myself. My name is Rashmi Kalwani, and I am writing to you from Dubai. I have recently been ‘inspired’ to get in touch with you regarding an interesting business proposal. But before I explain that let me tell you that I have had the good fortune to read your mesmerizing book – I AM ANOTHER YOU! I have been truly motivated & inspired by your book and more so by your beautiful & profound experiences! I think it would be of great value to share this experience & knowledge with people in this part of the world!

Last week, a dear friend of mine – Roshni – gave me your book to read. Needless to say I finished it in a few hours and was deeply touched by your life experiences and your wonderful writing.

Thank You,
One Love,
Rashmi

Fire Within - A Journey in Search of the Self

I Am Another YOU is a meditation on the power of human beings to transform themselves, if they so desire, and the testimony to the triumph of the human spirit against life-altering odds. - The Asian Age

Hello Everybody.

Packing my suitcases again..Off to London this time..But, before I leave there's so much that I got to share with you guys..

So, here I go pulling all the strings together..

'I Am Another YOU' has been all over the South post my book reading event:-)
Received so many feedback mails from readers that my mailbox almost crashed:-) On the last count replied to over 500 emails..with one sore thumb, the process is still on;-)
And one GREAT piece of news that I couldn't await sharing with you folks was that 'I Am Another YOU' received a Go Ahead to be sold in UAE.. With that, we go International!!

I am off to London for a week..Will keep you all posted as and when I can..

Take care. And enjoy the reader reviews:-)


Dear Priya,
Many of my evenings are spent at Crossword browsing through books and magazines. Two weeks ago I chanced upon your book "I am another you". I was intrigued to say in the least because I found your name seriously popping in my consciousness..
Well to cut the chase I read the book in two sittings- I needed time to experience the rituals, process and the learnings.I loved the book and to have been privy to those rituals and shamans is truly sacred.I was left wondering about the other 7 rituals that were not mentioned!Congratulations, once again and be blessed in whatever you do!
Warm Regards,Sudeshna

Hi Priya,
I read the book and could not put it down - i read it one straight sitting - And I really did feel like I was a part of the rituals with you - I truly felt the I am another you part because - everything that u mentioned in as your desires , dreams and the feeling lost part - I've felt them exactly the same way - Maybe i was meant to read the book now..
Cheers
Satyen

Hi Priya,
I have completed your book I Am Another You. I have recommended that book to at least 10 of my friends.
Your book helped me a lot personally. I have the same prayer as yours “to be a billionaire” and I actually realized the truth in the words mentioned by Kahuna.
From the day I met you every day has been learning. I am waiting to connect to the spiritual leader.
Shripriya

Hi,yesterday at Pune I picked up the book late evening from Crossword and had been reading during journey today morning with the thought that on returning office I should send Mail to you about the first impressions after reading about 35 pages.
It’s just fascinating and beautiful. While reading one can so easily visualize too and trust me I was feeling the heat of Sweat Lodge and then froze too in the freezing water.
You are amazing and I am in the flow and shall wait to see when do I get a chance to interact with you. Congratulations! It’s a beautiful book to be read again and again!
For now,I have completed the Spiritual Walk along with you and Martin - An amazing adventure in to the realms of Soul.
Thank you for your fantastic insights. One can't read without being there with you. Reader doesn't have a choice - either be with you or remain where you are.
Thanks & Regards, Ramesh Sood

Rumba Nandriya Chennai!!



Hush. Finally fooled time to sneak out and update you guys! I almost surpassed the 'due' date i guess;-)
Oh, the good Lord Almighty knows that I have been living out of my suitcases for a week now. Workshops, book readings, media interviews et al.. Quite some week I tell you..
Anyways, the seeds of yesterday ripe another fruitful day.. Hope you all enjoyed the book promotional A/V.. The book reading in the South was one rocking event. Met amazing people, had a one-on-one with the media and received some ravishing reviews from one and all. My humble Thank Yous to one and all.

Now, as I promised here is one of the readers' mail that touched my heart -

Hi Priya,
I wanted to write to you since long, but, I think everything has its time. Maybe this is the right time, because I have an opportunity to thank you for writing " I am another you".
When I googled for you, to my surprise I found that you have written a book. I had decided that I want to read this book. I finished the book in 5 days, unlike otherwise when it takes almost a month to finish a book. I usually devote less than an hour for reading but I was so hooked on to your book that I would stay awake till 2 o'clock in the night to finish a chapter. I have been recommending your book to everyone and I pray that it becomes the National Best Seller...and then ofcourse International Best Seller!
Thank you for the experiences that you have lessoned for us. Thank you for sharing those experiences, I can imagine how difficult it would have been to reveal all. Thank you Priya for writing this book. I pray that you get a chance to publish it internationally as well. I pray that your book makes it to the International best sellers list. It will touch soooo many lives..
-Uma B.

ps - For all of you who didn't understand the title, it says Thanks A Lot Chennai;-)
