The book is being launched for the media to give them a sneak peak ahead of the others. It is going to be a small event. So I just thought of inviting all of you to join me on this very very special moment. Besides the media it is important to have some friends to share the special moment. Right?
If you want a more legible version of the invitation then click this link.
The book will be launched at 6.30pm on Sat 20 Sep 08 at the Crossword Bookstore at Select Citywalk Mall in Saket, New Delhi. I want to have one of you to launch this book – why have celebrities launch a book that they have perhaps not even read. So I thought I should have a reader launch it.
You may recall that I had sought readers ideas on plotlines. I have certainly been influenced by some of them. Those ideas have triggered off thoughts that helped write. So if you want a sneak peek – come over and bring your friends along.
I am trying to get two of my friends to enact a small piece of the book. Ummm… more when we meet.

This year should see a spate of Indian books. From graphic novels to cookbooks. From Science Fiction to Short Stories, the publishers are ready to pull out their trump cards. With a growing confidence in everything Indian, the Indian reader is also ready to give Indian writers a chance to share stories that are desi and in a language that feels real. There is no need to add a glossary of Indian words or phrases used like they did before. [...]... - Meet Karan Bajaj
A writer is a product of his own experiences. If you lead an interesting life, you will inevitably have a zillion stories within. The trick is perhaps to find a reason to share them with the world. A book becomes a natural outlet to share the author's inner world with the readers'. Meet Karan Bajaj, the author of Keep Off the Grass.... - Married But Available – The Cover Story
Don't judge a book by its cover. When a book lies among a hundred others on the shelf, it is the cover that first catches the eye. Thereafter the seduction of the reader is unabashed. through great graphics or visuals, maybe through an interesting title or through a controversial quote or a celeb author's photo or endorsement, the cover tries to get you to cough up the money and take the book home....

Hi I am the bald guy who tagged his nagging galfriend along who wanted to see a movie rather than go to a “boring book launch.” The dirty looks she threw at me all the way from Gurgaon to Delhi made it very clear what would happen to me if the book somehow slipped even a quarter of an inch from the level to which I had hyped it.
Well just to let you know …thanks for kepping my “ijjat” intact. I have already been able to infect a lot of ppl (including my galfreind) to read the book. Most of them are still sane and smiling !
( Vivian and Pankaj said thanks ! Pankaj liked the “pankaj” written in hindi )
Swimming in this “beach” of a life, your book was a relaxing read !
Pls keep writing !
