Greetings from Mysore, a most splendorous town in South India!
Farewells are always sad
except at the snapping of the navel-cord
when to the kiss of life they wake, both
beaming with strange togetherness
Never have the lines (written by the gifted Indian poet Vijay Munshi) rung so true for me as when I finished proofreading my manuscript for the last time, stared at the baby with pride, and prepared to introduce “Nights of the Moonless Sky” to the world. I have done my best to tell a good story. I seek your good wishes.
I will be back from time to time to blog more of my musings. Y’all come back too when you can!
Congratulations!!
May Goddess Saraswathi continue to give you more imagination,education,erudition and excellent writing skills dear Sir.
May you continue to write many more books
Vish – May this be the first of your many published novels as I know you have many more tall tales in you. Looking forward to seeing you on the red carpet!
Congratulations.
Seasons greetings.
Look forward to devouring your debut novel & more
All the very best.
Vish, have always known you to be a very talented guy- music, singing & studies. This talent of writing so lucidly is another feather in your cap.
Congratulations. Look forward to reading your debut novel.
Best wishes.

I am interested in history. Early on in high school in Sagar (Shimoga district), I was influenced by our history teacher (Late) Samaka Ramaswamy, a scholar in Indian history. I remember his teaching of Vijaynagar empire, particularly emperor Krishnadevaraya and Minister Madhava Vidyaranya. I am eager to learn more about the glorious empire and looking forward to read your stories. Good luck Vish……….. Nani
Congratulations!!! Your novel enchanted me from the very first lines. The story weaves a beautiful tale of empowerment, greed and redemption embedded in a timeline of actual history from 16th century India. I enjoyed the surprising plot and character developments. Especially during these times, it was wonderful to escape into this book which was full of visual imagery. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your novel and couldn’t put it down until I was finished! Best wishes!!!
Congratulations, Vish. Having been well acquainted with your creative writing abilities, I can’t wait to get my hands on your “just born” brain child. Where and when can I order my copy?
Wishing you all the best, Vish. May this be the start of a series of such wonderful stories that keep the winter blues away and pandemics farther away. Who wants to go out when you have such an interesting book in one’s hand!
Congratulations, Vish! Look forward to reading it…looks good!
Wish you a lot of success with your debut novel, and hope there will be more over the coming years!!
Best,
Govind
