Another way to rob you...

In the past, I have tried various methods to make you all part with your hard earned cash and food. I have pretended to like some of your cookery posts with the sole hope that you would send me some of your dishes out of gratitude. Did Not Work.
I tried befriending some of you, hoping you would reveal your credit card information to me after I wooed you with my 'A/S/L' dialogues (Yes. I'm very old-fashioned.) Did Not Work.
I tried meeting some of you in real-life by surprising you at work. Did Not Work. (I DID however find out that pepper spray stings very badly and does not taste half as good as pepper chicken.)

One of my more hare-brained schemes involved me writing enough short stories and earning millions from it to fund my RIHUA (Retirement in Hawai with Unlimited Appletinis) dream. That seemed a sureshot success initially until my chartered accountant/coconut vendor informed me that I would need royalty from roughly about 12,684 short stories... to pay for the Hawai chappals I was planning on wearing in Hawai.
For those who are interested, the list of all published stories till today (23 and counting) are here. Yes. Just 12,661 more to go.
Anyway, to facilitate my plans, I'm providing you the links to the e-book of my short story 'HeartStrings', now available on AMAZON and FLIPKART.
The links for the same are here :
Who would have imagined that my e-book would be in the same e-rack alongside names like Jeffrey Archer and Ruskin Bond... those guys must be so proud, whoever they are. Anyway, the rates are fixed at a princely Rs 25 (roughly 9100 Dongs for my Vietnamese fans. Seriously guys.. you call your money dong? That's just so... wrong). I will expect to see all your cheques and coins in my mail by the end of the month, at the earliest. 


Presence in presents(cash/coins/cheques/chickens) only.
Sincerely
Roshan. 

P.S. For an extra Rs 15, I will also dance like an Egyptian in the operation theater in your honour, if you so desire.

For me, bringing a smile on a person’s face and making them forget their own worries is the ultimate reward at the end of the day. Professionally, I achieve this by donning a mask every day and working as an anaesthesiologist to relieve physical pain and suffering. On a personal level, I do the same with my words, replacing the mask of an anaesthesiologist with that of a whimsical writer. My name is Dr Roshan Radhakrishnan and welcome to my Godyears.
