The new website

One is so used to seeing websites that it is no longer a big deal to see one but what is certainly heart warming is the sight of your own website with your name as the URL. I had never made a website till now. I had thought it was necessary. Nothing has triggered the necessity now per se but the fact that the second book, The PM's Wishlist got released meant that I had to have important resources at the fingertips of readers keen to know more about the books or about me. This point and need to have a dedicated website, emerged from the online articles and experts who were pretty vocal about it. I agree that one can't have serious readers being sent all over the internet if they needed to know more. The Website is now up and running. Hope you like it.

What Readers have to say...

Amman – A Tribute to Mother Reader’s comments

“I sat up the whole night and finished the book. Inspiration can be derived from very commonplace incidents and the book is so contemporary, so real. I salute Amman” Prof Y.U.Gunjkar “I could relate the incidents with so many incidents from my own life and those of a few relatives. I thought that book was very racy with the incidents just racing past you in a collage of visuals. Very readable book.” Uma Yoganand “The language of the book is so lucid, so simple that the author’s flair for creating visuals through a simple narrative is visible and endearing “Jeetendra Karnik “ It’s the ordinary people who make the world a better place and its their efforts, their accomplishments and their successes that make them less ordinary” Dr. Milind Thanekar “ I know Sachin’s flair for writing so I am not surprised with the fluid narrative style at all” Sumedha Nadkar “ Sachin’s initiative to present the sweet and bitter moments frm his mother’s life is commendable and worthy of the richest approbation. Writing about mothers is considered so old-fashioned, so passé that its guts to attempt this topic” Veena Nachne “ I couldn’t agree more with Sachin’s statement in the book that sayse trip to nostalgia can get a bit bumpy” Rajesh Desouza “ I found the book very readable and very sweet. Its written in a simple language without any artificial or cosmetic elements.” Suryakant Sawant “ It’s a beautifully written story with each incident unfolding into the next.” The book is absolutely unputdownable” Anjali Karnik “Read Amman. It’s a beautiful and glowing tribute by a grateful son for his deserving mother.” Narendra Kulkarni “ It is amazing how each incident creates a visual and makes you pause and makes you turn a page. Its interesting to find a common story told so well” Dr.Neha Thanekar “Sachin, Make sure this first book is just the beginning…most people never do what they really want to do so this is already great” Sasha Mirchandani "Just read your book 'amman',and i just cld not stop myself by writing to you coz you hv penned so fabulously the sweet n bitter memories of your life that it really touches d heart. I have'nt seen a mom like yours, ya there r many women who do struggle but your mom took everything so sportingly,she took so many tasks one after the other,n moreover most of her work were related to education. she was so spontaneous,the moment she ended up with a task, she picked up another, this is incredible.........................................the most touching moment penned down by you was, when you dreamt abt your father and the other day in the morning u went to his room n looked into his eyes as if u wanted to narrate the feel of your dream,but u cld not,those were the lines when actually tears rolled down.I wish i cld meet your mom sometime n have her blessings. she is an ispiration to all women.my charan sparsh to her" Vaishali Jain Just a few pages but everything that I have read so far has already etched in my mind..its so well written..the detailing is amazing...the texture of the benches,posture of youro mother sitting,the lonely planet and the scary woman,kaikayee's real character..its tooooo good really ! today I feel proud to be knowing you if I may add :) Anju Kapoor

Coverpage

That’s the first real memory that I have of Mummy and the visual has stuck in my mind. It looked like a picture postcard with the large tree at some distance and my mother reading quietly without looking up for those long three hours that I was in class. It was awesome. It was serene. One could hear the faint humming noise of students studying in different classrooms in a still kind of suppressed silence punctuated only by the occasional breeze or the distant grunting of grazing cows and goats.

A Poignant and an Inspiring book on God's greatest gift to mankind-Mothers

Most parents do a lot for their kids and most kids are aware and grateful about their parents' contributions, aspirations, toils and the efforts that propelled them to success. Its the articulation of gratitude that is becoming a scarce sentiment - a sentiment that's on the verge of extinction. Expressing gratitude for parents is passe, almost unfashionable and then a booklike Amman-Tribute to Mother comes along. Hats off to Sachin for writing on such a beautiful subject that is so courageous in its simplicity and so inspiring in its mundaneness. A Must Read.
