#Nepotism & #Bullying took its toll on the kind soul. Likewise, I don& #39;t have any godfathers in the publishing world. Someone at the @Rupa_Books editing house even told me on call that they were bothered by the multiple proposals I sent. https://twitter.com/VandanaJayrajan/status/1272593872208621569">https://twitter.com/VandanaJa...
And @Rupa_Books et al. probably presumed that since I am from Karnal, which is #NotAMetropolitanCity, I can& #39;t write good literature. Plus they were dead scared of publishing something that criticizes both the #OutdatedEducationSystem and the #OutdatedCasteBasedReservationSystem.
The person from @Rupa_Books, who called to scold/threaten me, told me in a strong voice, "No one will ever publish your book. I myself shall warn everyone in the industry."
But I still got my book published, first as an affordable Kindle eBook and then as a hard-copy unaffordable even for myself because I lag behind by almost 5 years and am still a student (of PhD now) due to my medical condition.
I didn& #39;t commit suicide. I am hopeful that someday soon, a wise editor will recognize the potential of #7SecondsATypicalGuyAtypicalLife and publish my novel that has multilingual elements of friendship, school time, deception, poetry, romance, conspiracy, hijack and terrorism.
I self-published for free on @AmazonKindle platform.
May my story of victory over death after a life-threatening, coma-inducing and memory-damaging road accident and the following campaign against pain inspire you to lead a healthy lifestyle away from addictions such as tobacco.

Now read my novel even in its hard-copy version: https://www.amazon.com/Seconds-Typical-Guy-Atypical-Life/dp/1520680961/">https://www.amazon.com/Seconds-T...
