My new book, Roadrunner: An Indian Quest in America should be out in a matter of weeks.
It's been my preoccupation for nearly four years now. Among other things, I made three long road trips around the US gathering material for it. Check the labels "'merican road", "'merican road #2" and "'merican road #3" on the list to the left for my blogging efforts from those journeys.
I'm pleased with the way it looks as it heads for the printing press finally. It will even have an insert with some of my photographs.
Hey, I like the book, I hope you do! More about it in this space in the days to come.
Roadrunner on Amazon!

Super. Will look for it.
Wishing you all the very best!
dileep, wonderful!
i should have known when you inadvertently ran over that roadrunner and were so full of remorse the next day at that super8 in socorro that it would get top billing in the book. glad it made it all the way to the very top, the title itself!!!
it was jan 12, 2008 as i recall. we were at the vla on the 13th.

Looking forward to it. My best wishes, Dilip!
Congratulations Dilip Sahib - more after I have got my hands on it.
Looking fwd to it Dilip (though I'm stumped on how I'll get my hands on a copy :)
Good luck Dilip. Will the book be available in the US, or will some seller ship to the US? Do I see you on the NYT bestseller list :-) ??
MP, Aditya, Pareshaan, Kartik and Sunil, thanks! I don't know yet about online sales and shipping to the US -- if and when I find out I'll let you know. As for the NYT list -- not unless you mean the New Yerraguntla Times, which I don't think you do, and even then I'm doubtful ...
k, such a pleasure to hear from you. Are you still at your enmu address? Am writing a note there now. I saw those pix when you first pointed me to them, and I remember that trip fondly.
heh....for NYT, you need to change the title slightly to "Roadrunner: An Indian in a flat world" or some such :-)
