My thanks go out to Shashank Sinha for his recent review of It Can’t Be You in it’s Facebook Page. He writes with a different slant – on the psychology of the individual- and I would like to share his review here.

Reviews of books I have read
The Deccan Chronicle of January 22, 2011 carried an article on It Can’t Be You. I am glad it was described as a “must read”.
I must clarify that I am probably the first person from out of India to have a debut novel published from a debut effort in NaNoWriMo. This probably has been done by others abroad.
Isn’t it a nice feeling when someone you know and respect, compliments you on some facet about you that he perhaps didn’t know about? I had this experience recently. I had worked for Mr. Ashok Soota during the mid-80s when I was responsible for Selection & Training in the old Wipro Infotech. Today, he is a doyen of the Indian IT industry and is the Chairman of MindTree Limited.
In a recent conversation, one of my readers asked: “What has been the reaction of Army officers to your book, especially the part about Belliappa’s career and life in the Indian Army ?” My honest answer: I would love to hear from them. Haven’t got any comment so far.

Delighted to share a feature in The Hindu– one of India’s oldest and most respected newspapers- December 20, 2010.
As the book becomes more easily available , both in shops in various cities in India and through on-line chains like Flipkart, Rediff Books and Pustak Mahal, (my publishers) of course, reviews will start coming in. “It Can’t Be You ” was recently reviewed by Sonia Safri in The Book Chums. Read the review here.
