The same undergrad school, Infosys and 14 year old son. I read your posts regarding your son accidently and immediately felt like writing to you. My son also has a chronic condition and can empathize the battles you and your wife must have fought against the school system, not to talk about the umpteen trips to doctor's office and paying those medical bills. The good news is that autism does give you benefits over the "common" gene pool. Otherwise, how can you explain the brilliant composition your son made? I could never think that an 8th grader could do a mozart. Somewhere inside us, we feel why us? Why couldn't he be "normal"? But, why should we expect everyone to fall in line? It is their uniqueness which creates this mosaic. Otherwise life would be so drab. May your son shine the world with his brilliance. I have never met him, but can feel the vibes from his piano composition. And yes, please don't ever make him fall in line. He does not need to "become" anything. He is great as he is.

We have learnt a lot about the publishing industry in the last few months. Apparently, that is how long it takes - 9 months after we submit the manuscript. In a year, the issues could be entirely different. But according to them that's what the "completely updated paperback issue" will be for! We like the people we are dealing with at Penguin. But the business model is frankly, a little wobbly. True Satya. We have learnt a lot about the publishing industry in the last few months.

I thought the book will come early...may be sometime in this year. Nevertheless, will look forward to it. I believe your son's performance would have taken some load off your shoulder and it was kind of stunning to know that you are doing a play...a lot to learn here ;-) Satya Basab,
