Even more updates on the Launch plans

Okay, here goes. Pune has been "preponed" to 11th of July.

This is it! No more changes, I promise... I know all the terrible implications of my inability to fix launch dates... price of oil is $135 a barrell, inflation is hitting 11% and BSE has hit 14K... Oh the ramifications of greatness! :-/

No seriously, hopefully these dates will be final and I'll see atleast someone else other than my editor at the gathering!

Update on the launch plans

Okay, small change in the launch schedule

Mumbai launch will now be on July 10th. As I would have said before I learned that this word doesn't exist in the English language and is purely an Indian invention, the launch date in Mumbai has been "preponed" by a day. My apologies to the thousands whose schedules will have been turned upside down because of this inconvenience. I know, I know you'll have to book new flights and make additional hotel reservations all because this red letter day has moved up on the calendar.... What can I say other than bear with me and my apologies once again.

Okay, enough time spent being facetious. ;-D But i sure do hope someone will turn up at these launches other than me and the copies of my book. So far I haven't been able to rope in a celebrity or even a non celebrity to "host" the event. Oh well, back to trying.

Wish me luck!

The launch plans

All right, for all those lost souls trawling the WWW for meaningless posts like mine... :-)

Here are the launch plans so far.
July 5th Hyderbad Crosswords
July 11th Mumbai Crosswords
July 12th Pune Crosswords (I think!!)

Meanwhile, my editor, Saugata, had his hands on the first copy today. Man, I'm thrilled and jealous at the same time... feels like my baby has been born but the doctor is getting to look at her first. :-) (Oh, he is a good doctor, all right!)

Wish me luck!!!
