Was busy re-searching on The Mall!

Though it is self-conceited pampering, yet not saving any modesty, I am overwhelmed at your missing me, friends dear! Was actually trying to be a little dearer (pun intended--even with connotations of being 'priced'). But I worked through "The Mall Watch"--my seventh book. 'Hoor Menaka' and 'Holypol' being the closest runners up. Will hit the stands hopefully around Diwali.

About 'The Mall Watch' 2nd in 'Write in the middle series'--"At a popular hill station when we had covered all the must-see places, we positioned ourselves at a vantage point, to observe the behaviour of couples on the mall and tell, if they were the honey-mooners, runways, married for long or fly-by-night types! It was kind of research though! Yes, we were able to tell the number of years too the couples stood in matrimony, or otherwise।"

The legendary Middle writer, 95 years old, Mr Raj Chatterjee has written the Foreword।

For my Facebook frineds--in a lighter vein:

शायद मुझे निकाल के पछता रहे हैं आप

महफ़िल में इस ख्याल से फिर आ गया हूँ में !
