I have some very exciting news - my book, Rajaraja Chola, King of Kings, has been published by Aleph Book Company and is out in the big wide world, in bookstores, libraries and online, for anyone who might be interested. It has been a labour of love for the past several years. The book is no longer "mine", in the safe cocoon of my computer and accessible only to me, but has been released into the vast unknown, where I have no control over how it will be received, what people will make of it. This is nerve-wracking, to say the least, but in an oddly satisfying way. After all, that has been its destiny all along.
