P.S. In response to a comment that says that she hopes my next book launch will be in Bangalore, I would like to announce that I am planning multi-city launches of my book, in cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Ahemedabad, Nagpur, Delhi, Tiruvannamalai,... in fact I am open to going wherever I am invited.

P.P.S.

Hubby thinks its high time I write a para about what my novel is about.

As the title suggests, my book is about a Grasshopper on the go. Who is a grasshopper? A grasshopper is anyone who hops, in directions unpredictable. And hopping happens when there is a music in the head, very low gravity, and lose elastic strings that tie you down.

If this is too literary, I shall try to make it simple.

My Grasshopper is a young woman who seems to be fickle minded but is in fact a pilgrim by calling. She is a misfit in the worldly life and her restlessness make for journeys and conversations with diverse characters. She allows her heart to rule her head, and comes to her own when she finds birds of the same feather.
