It is really difficult to manage so many things from a place, miles away from the venue of the launch... especially for a clumpsy person like me. Nevertheless, I'm trying to get ready for D day which is tomorrow, 12th Oct, my debut book launch.
Never in the wildest of my dreams have I thought that this could be so difficult... calling all the guests, ensuring that everyone turns up, especially the chief guests, making sure with the PR that seating, floral and food arrangements are going well, ensuring that the books have arrived (well, I haven't yet seen my book, they're in Kolkata and I'm miles away, like I just said)... could there be anything else??? And then suddenly I have a terror attack, almost a nervous breakdown, will my flight be on time tomorrow?
Like I said, I'm so much clumpsy... it always has got to be the last moment for everything... like landing on D day! This is to ensure that none of you reading this post might have a wrong impression that my boss is a monster who doesn't give holidays... My boss is too good. This hotch-potch situation is all my fault, or one may say my in-born talent (or faulty mechanism again).
In the end I would say, Goshhhh... writing a book is not even half the job done. Hats off to all the authors out there with many published works. Woooffff!!! I shall take a long (looooong) break after the book launch is done before I start preparing for writing another book (a rare possibility, as it seems from here, inside my cubicle, in my office, waiting to go home, pack my bags and get ready for the early morning flight)... I promise myself (like I've done so many times) it shall never be at the last moment again (a rare possibilty, but possible).
Once again, thank you all for all your wishes... they all matter to me... Hang on before I update on what and all happens at book launches.
Fingers Crossed!!!!
