Hi Anurag, I've known you for only couple of months. I first read you substack and then got to know you page on instagram. As creative STEM student from Kanpur, I understand what it must have meant to create your path with arts in your world. I hope your book reaches masses. I don't want you to suffer financial losses but I look forward to seeing your book selling in the road side book stalls, that's a sign of a successful book right?😄

Been a fan of the podcast for a few years and found your writing here. Your creative expressions are unique because they are so honest and unpretentious, I think. This essay is so good.
I have been following your work for 2 months and I find you are really one of kind person amidst all copycat personality or work, you have quite riveting point of view which can't encapsulate or generic into some definition however it's mix of intelligence humour ,some wickedness and absurdity and abundance of wisdom ,I have ordered book written by you, to know you more as creative ,some people in creative field or media or cinema which I deeply admire ,like varun grover , ravish kumar ,javed akhtar ,shaunak sen , Anurag Kashyap, chaitanya tamahne ,
This was just the inspiration I needed to keep chasing this silly thrill of writing just for its own sake, and stop worrying, if only for a moment, about how people respond to it. I always love your articles because of the ease and gentleness with which they unravel social norms and cultural behaviour. As a writer who is trying to build a new version of herself out of the smoke of failed plans, antagonistic circumstances (and boredom), this was a special treat!
Thank you for letting me see you, Anurag. I hope to meet you someday and we can perhaps compare notes on where we were life in at what points of time, what engineering examination halls we were amidst the dread of, and perhaps what happiness looks like.
I got my copy last night. Starting with the preface, I am in the first chapter now. I have lived every bit of it. I have to admit I often break into your VLOG persona in my head while reading it and like your VLOGS it’s insightful, witty, and so well crafted. I am no critic but I can easily say that non fictions in this genre tend to be unputdownable in the way that you move fast and it’s fun. Every line is meticulously written and asks you to wait for a bit as the narrative draws you in to get on to find more. Between all those stories and insights, what I am also absolutely loving is about your personal journey. Going back to the start - the preface is a perfect start to what feels like an awesome book. Loving every bit of it.
Congratulations Anurag! Your success seems very personal. You are one of those few artists I have been following since very early stage and I treasured your work as hidden gems of the internet. So definitely bought the book :)

Haha. Technically it is one of the most important sign of success :)

Thankyou for writing, I'm 98.9% convinced to not to be a creative
What about the kindle version, I don't see it listed?
Awesome and inspiring. Thanks for being so honest and sharing your journey. Your writing has a lot of heart in it.
