Marriage ! Made in heaven - Download book | Tuesday, November 18, 2008 |

Finally the day has arrived - the day when I launch my latest book, the much awaited book form of my most appreciated story series "Marriage 'not' made in heaven". Though I had planned to upload the book here immediately after returning from Diwali vacation. But I didn't quite get the time to put everything together. I wanted this book to be special, something more than my earlier books. So, was wandering what else to add besides the main story. And then designing the cover of the book was a big issue. I couldn't zero in on some particular design. After much thinking and head scratching, I designed 4 different covers and picked the 3rd one. The wait is over now. Here's giving you the book, so that you can read it all in one place, even offline.

Marriage not made in Heaven - The BookDownload Book

Click on the book cover to see the full size book cover. Click on the download icon on its right to download the zipped book. The zip contains the book in PDF format, some fonts that might be needed and a 'Read Me' file. Enjoy the book. There are some extra features in the book, other than the 6 Episode story; for instance - 'Behind the Scene' section and alternate book covers. Enjoy the book.

Synopsis :

For those of you, who didn't follow the story as it was being published here - here's a synopsis of the book.

This is a typical story of 'guy meets girl and love blossoms'. But its not really that typical. They didn't meet ever. They were just web friends. Or were they? There was definitely something special about them that always kept them together, inspite of their numerous chat fights. But they didn't think it was love. How can you love someone whome you haven't even seen, right? Then one day the girl tells him that she's getting married. He felt his world crashing down. Next thing he knew was that he landed in her city the very next day, to make her his own. What happens next? Does he win his love? How they fared against all the opposition from parents and even god, who played spoilsport very often. There's a saying that 'Marriages are made in heaven'. But their's wasn't - definitely. Then how did they make it work on earth? Come join the journey of a guy, out to win his lady love.

Ohhh, I'd like to take your opinion about the book cover. So, here are the four alternate book covers. Let me know which one you like the most -













Ok now, go on. Read the book. It took me a great deal of effort in the designing of the book. So, if you like the design and the content, do leave a comment or your views here. I'd like that a lot. After all, its your love that keeps me going here. :) I might write a sequel to this story. Just keep a watch here for updates. For the time being, Adieu.

My Best Friend's Wedding : The Book | Wednesday, August 22, 2007 |


Another PDF mini book completed. With that, I feel elated. I've done couple of such books earlier also but this one is the most precious to me. Maybe because this one is the newest of them all. But that's just a fraction of it. More importantly, 'coz it is about the best thing that ever happened to me. I didn't have to plough my brain to write it. Memories just kept surfacing in my mind and I just kept keying them in here. It's not about the aching heart or some melodrama. It's about the wonderful friendship that we share. It's drenched in all the vivid colors that a relation can have.

Incidentally, just yesterday I was watching the movie 'Hum Tum'. Have seen it many times earlier but this time it felt like out of the world. I can relate to the story so much, specially the scene where Rani is getting married to Abhisekh and Saif is recalling his previous convo with her
"What'll be the end of our story"
"There's no US. There's only The End. And this is THE END".
This reminded me of SS sportingly saying "I've no worries. If I don't find any boyfriend, U r there naa. :P ". Then there's the Bidai scene in airport where Abhisekh says "I hope it's not gonna be a boring scene when I suddenly realize that 'oh shit! This guy loves Riya". HeHe. AM did have such assumptions.

[ Continued in Full Post ]


Anyway, U can't say that I was inspired by this movie to write. Mine was completed yesterday itself before watching this movie. But in the context of it's online release, I'd like to quote one dialogue from the movie, slightly edited.
"There's no need to talk about friendship which is successful. No use of talking about friendship which is broken. And true friendship is never incomplete. One day or the other, it does find it's destination".

Download


Anyway, here's the mini book of mine. Click on the Adobe Logo button on the left. A new download window will open. Lemme know how do u like it. If you find any trouble reading the book - due to font or format; drop me a mail and I'll assist you.

As a bonus, my previous mini books can be downloaded from the links below. Click on the book covers to open the download window.






And, now time for some opinion poll. I had actually designed multiple covers for this "My Best Friend's Wedding" book. They are displayed below. Click on each image to view the full size in a new window. Now according to you which among these is the best?




Harry Potter 7 is past now. Read these. HeHe :D . I'm not comparing my mini books with those cult novels. Just for a change, these will F5 [refresh] your minds. Lemme know for sure how do u like these. Have a great day.

Harry Potter 7 : Spoiler | Tuesday, July 17, 2007 |

Ok, here's something about the biggest wait of the year. Harry Potter 7, the finale of the wizard who have spell bounded readers around the world. For past few days, there's been rumors about the end of the final book being leaked. Several people described the end of the book, which I guess was just their imagination. Though, the vividness of their imagination amused me. Some die-hard readers gave their predictions, based on some logic. Speculations ranged from Hermione dieing, Hagrid getting killed, Dumbledore resurrecting, Harry being a Horcrux, Peter Pettigrew helping Harry to repay his debt_, and biggest of them all - Harry dieing at the end. Someone even wrote a plagiarized version of the story based on his imagination and released it in PDF form claiming it to be the original. Get it here.

And at last, this morning I came across a link which claimed to be the 'Real Spoiler of HP7' [ just like all others claim ]. I did click on it anyway, and to my utter disbelieve, found it really to be true. The story did make sense and add to that, there are snaps from the book. Snaps of whole 4 content pages and Epilogue pages are given. This is indeed - real.

[ Continued in Full Post ]

Frankly speaking, I don't mind the spoilers. Afterall, I'm not gonna buy the book pretty soon, if I decide to buy it at all. [ I'm hoping someone will gift it to me ;) ] And, there's this urge to know what happens at last. So, this spoiler serves my purpose. This doesn't mean that I won't read the book now. Eventhough I know the end now, I don't know the tids-n-bits of the story. Every page of this final book is going to be a treasure trove. With 4 horcruxes still to be discovered - it's a long ride. So, I'd definately gobble the whole book when I get my hands on it.

I had this terrible urge to post the spoiler link here so that all HP enthusiasts can read it and quench their thrust. But then thought better of it. Others might not share my viewpoint about spoilers. And eventhough they might not want to read the spoiler, the presence of the link will eventually tempt them to click on it - thus spoiling their fun. And in the end, they are gonna curse me to hell. Pheeew. I surely don't want this fury. So, withholding this info. Instead, am launching this poll. Voice your opinion on this poll. Lemme know do U want to read this authentic HP7 spoiler. If I get considerable amount of positive response, I'll post the link here. Or if U can't wait that long, drop your mail id in comment. I'll mail U the link. Keep an eye on this space for further updates.
