If you get irritated when you see Abhishek Bachchan go 'Loading, loading, loading' on the Idea 3G ad, then raise your hands. Umm…better yet, read the rest of this post. 
I feel a bit like him, waiting and waiting and waiting for what seems like ages to see my book in print. Okay, what is my problem? Blinkers Off is getting published at lightning speed compared to Kite Strings or even to books by my friends which have been accepted elsewhere. Compared to all these, my publishers are super fast indeed. So I should be happy.
Instead I'm getting bored. I'm waiting for things to happen and it feels like I've been waiting too long already. Whew. I need lessons in patience. The next best thing to do while waiting is to write something else.
So, I've restarted work on my book More than Just Biryani. However, it's in a completely new avatar now. It's not a cookbook. It's a food book which I think means that food plays an important role in shaping the lives of the protagonists in the book. So far I've written 9 chapters and I kind of like how its shaping up. But there's so much to be done! I mean, I've just barely scratched the surface of this book, so that kind of overwhelms me sometimes. But with four books behind me, if there's one thing I know, it's that old and overused cliche and nothing is impossible. Really.
