Update (18/02/2010) - Thanks for the initial response to the book :)
Update2 (25/ 02/ 2010) - Thanks for the feedbacks on the book those who have read it. (hope to get a feedback by others soon). Encourages me to overcome inertia and write more!
Meanwhile, those who ask for why is it currently not available in traditional retail outlets - well, I hope it will be done in some time (which might take a few months at least).
Main reason to not go with a traditional publisher was to retain control over content (tempted to use jargons like "creative control" and all!). A few of them wanted stuff what sells like - "life at IIT/IIM" kind of stuff, a mandatory love story with lots of "open sex" plus lots of Bollywood masala; and I didn't want it to be like one of those run off the mill kind of stuff!
And yeah, looking at the feedbacks I am not regretting it :-) !
