This is how she starts off...
For the rest of the review, go here.It’s hard to be objective about Parul’s book (which was released last week) and is called “Bringing Up Vasu – that first year“. It’s hard because she’s a friend (in FB parlance and otherwise too, I hope). Plus I’m already in love with her blog, so unbiased I am not. Still she says that she can take honesty, so I will certainly try.
First the good – the book. Yes it’s good, it’s funny. I snorted and belly laughed quite a few times while reading it, causing people around to look at me sharply.
Thank you once again, PM. I hope more bloggers will follow suit, specially the voracious readers among us.

Read her review. Can't wait to read the book. Have been waiting ever since I found out you were writing a book!
I think Godot will get to Cal faster than The Book!!
I don't know what's taking so long really. Maybe flipkart is still a better idea? You could order today and you will have it by day after.
Yes, yes, I will review it. Stop with the pressure already. Am pissed at those Starmark people for not putting your book out in front with garlands around it. I need ambience to do my 'I know the author' dance.
I havent read a single book till-end till-date. But the day I am free from tour I will try to read your post about your book writing.
The storyline is a bit familiar to a few expectant mothers/ mom and child books I've read, especially Mira's goofing up the admission to the high class pre-school and the struggles to get into the world of uber chic yummy mummies circle is very similar to the narratives in 'Momzillas' by Jill Kargman.
Sue...Trust you to feel the pressure, hehe!
Hobo... :)
Anonymous...Is that so? I must check out the book you've mentioned.
Like the review. Will get it on the next visit to the bookstore.
I've been a lurker on this blog, leaving a comment the first time. I like your writing, so I think I'll like the book too.
Good luck Parul ... wishing you lots of success with your books.
