I think we need to make the book available in stores to be picked up by the curious to read. When I talk about it I find sufficient interest but the process of getting the book is indeed cumbersome. How can we we streamline it?

REFLECTIONS the BOOK said...

Dear Sri Kumar,

Regret delays in getting Reflections into book shops like Land Mark and Cross word and airport book shops etc. across the nation. Badri is on the ball and incharge of distribution.

Mean while any one who is interested and wants to buy a book can just drop me a note at reflectionsbyiitians@gmail.com

Further sufficient stock is held in Bangalore for prompt deliveries.

Cheers

Ram

I am Achuta Ramaiah one of the small authors. Well by all means Rambo did a wonderful job. He coaxed all of us - made us write our article-criticized it-sent it for review- sent for our autographs- sent it for publications- sent for our preview-allowed us to do all changes etc. -opened a blog as well-invited all of us - (sorry i could i could make it either since my father passed away in November and was very depressed-in fact he me condoled more than anyone- and finally he feels about and let down that he could not say that our efforts and his efforts were largely for the book meant for the cancer patients in Chennai. We all okay ed it. He also brought in the elusive and popular Prof Indresan.God bless him. He has done so much -dash it none of us
could have done this much.
He kept up his pace even after his wife's retina problem in madras and the loss of his favorite dog raja. He worked solidly right through. HE is a GREAT MAN by ALL STANDARDS.
However we will spread his word that the book was primarily for cancer patients in Madras. we all agree and bid him do to do so.He will come out of it strongly -such a strong personality .
The book will be a great seller and it will make great profits for the cancer patient in Chennai.
WE ARE ALL WITH HIM
