You've been waiting and waiting

This is part of my ongoing series on the Mahabharat, an epic poem of ancient India. For links to all previous Mahabharat posts go here. Or you can simply click on the Mahabharat page link above.


I know that it's been months since I posted anything to do with this series. My dear Mahabharat enthusiasts will not have been pleased. That's why I wanted you to know that next week there will be an announcement.

It'll be quite an event and you're all invited. There'll be music and cool costumes. And a chance to win a prize!

Since prize-giving is something I've never done before on this blog it's quite a decision for me. Hope you like it.

The reason why is that my first novel Follow the Cowherd Boy has now been published for over five years. I want to mark the occasion and at the same time give you a chance to engage in the stories of the Mahabharat that I've been telling here for over two years.

So I know you've been waiting ages but please wait a little longer. Be like Sahadev - of Great Fortitude.


Go here to see the next Mahabharat post.

A Cuban In London said...

OK. My eyes are closed and I'm trying to chanel my Sahadev. :-) Thank you very much for your update. Yes, one of the reasons why I kept popping by whilst you were hiberanting was to see if you'd picked up your Mahabhara's thread. I'm looking forward to it already.

Greetings from London.

Wow, Jai, that's fantastic about your book. It sounds like you know how to party too--gotta love cool costumes!

Congratulations on the anniversary of your book, Jai.

Costumes - oh, I like costumes, and masks, and...hmmm...exactly what does that say about me? :-}
