My dear family, friends,
colleagues and students,
The book of my memoir on
my mother is ready!
U will recall I wrote the
first five parts in the form of four blog-posts here on Against the Tide,
during 26 April to 25 May 2009. Your response encouraged me to write 20 more
chapters. Now ten years later, the book is going to print in time for the 50th
death anniversary of my mother! Like the blog-posts, my memoir is titled: ‘Lessons
my Mummy Learned Me’.
Finally, the book of my memoir on my mother is
ready!
Date of publication: 02
May 2019.
First edition: 1,000
copies.
A get-together on the
occasion of its publication
will be held on Saturday,
18 May 2019, from 10am to 1pm,
at Akshar Nandan Shala,
off Senapati Bapat Road
The book is for private
circulation only; not for sale. Hence, the first edition will not be available
in book-stores or on-line. I am privately printing hard-back (hbk) and paper-back
(pbk) copies. Hbk copies are available for Rs.250, while pbk copies are for Rs.200.
The only way, however, to
get the hbk copies is to pre-order. I will print only as few/many hbk copies as
are pre-ordered. Hence, hbk copies will not (not) be available later. U can
pre-order only the hard-back (hbk) copies before
2 May 2019, available for Rs.150 (rupees one hundred and fifty only) – a
discount of Rs.100. This includes postage charges to anywhere in India
Pbk copies can not (not)
be pre-ordered and will be available at the venue of the publication ceremony on
Saturday, 18 May for Rs.150 (rupees one hundred and fifty only) – a discount of
Rs.50. They can also be ordered for Rs.200 after 18 May 2019. Pbk copies may be
ordered in the same way as the hbk copies. If pbk copies are available,
delivery will be made by post on a first-ordered, first-served basis.
So to ensure your copy of the memoir, please
pre-order.
