Today is a special day for me. So I will take this opportunity to make an announcement. Recently I was sort of busy and wasn’t reading all of your blogs as much as I used to read before. My Blog was running mostly on scheduled posts. And all I could do was to reply to comments and update MM challenge. So I take this opportunity to let you all know that I will get back to my normal blogging routine as soon as possible, once I finish a few things that I have started recently. Then some of you would obviously ask, what have I started recently that kept me away from blogging. I think I have a valid excuse for staying away from active blogging. I was working on my first book. Yes, I did write a book and obviously it is based on my travels. I call it as “Journey Is My Path”. Yes, that is the name of the book.
It is a fictional story inspired from various events from my recent travels. If you have been following this blog for long enough, you can identify various journeys in this book. This is a story of a common man who finds his destiny through a series of journeys. The journey progresses through various phases of life. The book is divided into Childhood, Adolescence, Youth and Adulthood. He then metamorphosed into a reflective and philosophical person as he journeyed from one phase to another and from one place to another. Like the subtitle of the book says, it is a journey through confusion, heart break and quarter life crisis towards clarity and truth. I hope, you can relate with that story in some way or another. The book is available for Pre-order at Amazon. Here is the link if you are interested in reading my first book.
Hard copy of the book is stuck in some red tapes, which I believe I can publish very soon. I will be shamelessly promoting my first book in the coming days. 😉 Book will be published on September 1st, which is again another special day for me. Please join my mailing list, where I will be sending excerpts from the book and some free e-books that I am currently working on. I assure you, there won’t be any spamming.
Congrats on this achievement!
Thanks a lot Maria 🙂
Congrats Jithin 🙂

Oh dear, oh my!!!… I generally won’t read books unless it is really good, has good reveiws and that book sounds too serious, coming out from you… but I will pay and buy it for you to encourage you anyway… wow..congrats, it is certainly a achievement(:… goodday
Thank you so much Prreeya. That is very kind of you. I hope I wont disappoint you and your decision 🙂
hmmm… these days when venture capitalists invest on start ups, these things are nothing compared to that…but I will read it for sure and give my opinion for sure… only thing if the book is pricey, I will pay only in installments ok ?…
Good to know that.
I am trying to cut the cost as much as possible. I try not to make it pricey. I am not trying to make money out of it. But yes, there are certain costs associated with book printing and publishing!
I know, I have been to a few literary fests and understand challenges faced by writers in publishing books…that’s why I said I will buy otherwise I would not have, anyway I can read your blog for free, but just want to encourage you in small way… anyway… if your commercial I would avoid you at all costs!!!
Thanks again for your kindness 🙂
Best wishes for your book!!! Cheers 😀
Thank you so much 🙂
Good luck to your book too 🙂
That answers my questions about your absence 😉
All the best for the book 🙂

Heheh.. its because, I added a new blog called ‘Drama in the Books’. Its only related to books. And I can review your book.

Would love to read it .. Thinking of your train journeys 🙂
Thank you Dhidhak 🙂

Heyy this is awesome news, man! Congrats! Really looking forward to reading it, though I will wait for the hard copy, haven’t warmed up to ebooks yet 🙂
haha..one more hard copy fan. Hopefully I can get a printed version out. And when it happens, I will let you know 🙂
Yup, keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that’ll happen soon for you 🙂
Thank you Principessa 🙂
Congrats, that’s wonderful.
Thank you so much Desley 🙂
Jithin,
I’ll buy your book mate irrespective of wherever I am. So do let me know the details here in comments as I’m not a very tech person. 🙂
Wonderful man 🙂 I hope I can know more about you through the book? lol, how sad is that 😛 😛
Cheers!
Thanks Anoop. I wanted to get a print version of it first. But it looks like it will take a lot of time to clear the redtape and stuff. So I decided to do an amazon version first. You can get it from Amazon as an ebook. Just click and buy. Or else you can wait and hope that the print version might come oneday 😉
No, I haven’t written my autobiography 😀
Its more like a fictional version of the journeys you have read here. But it might look like my story, but that is quite a coincidence only 😉
I am not really a e-book person, so I will wait and hope to get the printed version 🙂
Are you also Batman? I know too many Batman’s here already 😛 (anonymous people I mean)
I guess the printed version will be available only india. On special requests I can send you via courier 😉
I am a batman with transparent mask I guess 😛
It’s OK. I’ll order it to my home and get it from there. 🙂 That is hardly an issue.
Well you are a batman 😛 Glad you agree to that. 😛 😛
Then it is fine. First let me print them 😀
Alright, being batman isn’t that bad anyways 😉
Cool.
I am a fan of Batman 🙂 🙂 not you, the original Batman comic 😀
hahah.. I understand 😛
Congratulations, Jithin! Thank you for sharing the great news with us. I just read the book description on Amazon.com, I know I’ll enjoy reading your book. Have to wait… 🙂
Thank you Amy. Thank you for checking out the amazon page. It is a fiction version of many of the journeys that you have read here in this post. Hoping to receive feedback from you soon 🙂
So very looking forward to reading your book! 🙂
Very Glad to know that 🙂
Congratulations Jathin ! This is such a great news. You inspire others doing so many things simultaneously. All the best.
Thank you so much Rashmi 🙂
When there is an impulse, anyone can do it 🙂
That’s wonderful! 😀 Sounds like a great account of life reflecting itself through travel…Wish you every success with the book…. 🙂
When is your book coming out :O oh wait, you haven’t started writing one. 😛 (just kidding)
😛 … you have to wait a long time… 😀
but it is still coming..right?! That is good 😀
😀 Good morning… 🙂
Very Good morning. Have a great day ahead 🙂
Thanks..same to you… 🙂
Thanks to you too 🙂
This time I’ve posted my Mundane Monday early in the morning…. 😛
You still have a chance to be part of today’s post 😉
Count this as a part of today’s post…. I’ve linked it… 😀

It is for this week. I missed the last week….

You can still join in the previous week’s if you want to as it is not yet posted. Want to?
I wish I could, but I don’t have any appropriate picture… 🙁
Ok. I will add yours to the next week’s challenge.
