Aaj ki shaam..ek jaam aapki kaamyabi ke naam..
Speak like a true management guy..with your kind of fire in d blood...u don't need any publicity...am sure this maiden voyage is gonna be a publishing phenomenon... great going Apurv.
He's a cinch to win d race. Cineaste, embarking on a new area...going to b on tenterhooks all these weeks waiting for d results.... D pacy storyteller that u are, d delightful language that u use, there's never going to b dull moment... Titan, It's your literate blockbuster that's going to warm d cockles of yr fan's heart. Paragon has no parallel... Yr writing is sharp with a minimum argot ( jargon. ) Collect yrself, better start penning d sequel. Yeh dil mange more...

An upcoming cult writer for d neo-literate....
Member of d Ivy club...do yr nerves jangle too?...U're in a league of yr own.. after such an onerous task... time to bask in d glory. Oodles of luck
I'm not one for false modesty..18+ will b seen as d crowning achievement, pinnacle of yr career..transcending..what a boost to yr ego. Savour d accolade. Revel in all d attention. Yr boon companions would b so proud of u. Drown yr fears, man!! It's d sunny side of life. Need to b super charged..way to go... does yr book convey yr deep reverence for life & d pursuit of happiness?? U know d human psyche soo well. When is d D-Day.? Tonight champagne is my kryptonite, by d 2nd glass am a bit tipsy...having a tingy sensation....
A novelist with a truly cosmopolitan outlook..
A shining jewel of intellectuality...wonder what mysterious thoughts skitter around behind those eyes...am cast adrift...
Great going! Good Luck!
What would b more exhilarating than being recognized for yr writing skills..continue to nurture yr passion for literature..tales being told with vivacity..yr popularity us going to soar. When a writer shares his own (maybe) personal journey, d reader starts to feel a sense of connection... this novel is going to garner so much buzz. Enthusiasm for language makes d writer write..clarity of thought has been yr pillar of strength.. laurels to u.
C'Mon all ya people. We can do better.... Give d guy his due. Kick-ass action happenin here...He's come out with a book that really stirs d imagination.( stir d blood with carnal desires)!! Male version of "Shades of Grey". A non- conformist who's about to break d taboos in our culture..
Does d book deal with d eternal verities of life..d mystery of marriage... Is marriage d necessity of getting life-leased at all cost, a cardinal virtue, which generations of mothers teach. Is marriage a means of fulfilling one's romantic aspirations & d futility of imagining that life will conform to one's dreams? Why is there discrepancy between human desires & practical outcomes. ( life's appalling fiasco) Between d real & imagined life.... A Novel deals with d writer's mode of thought, d expression of his basic temperament & outlook..or is it just a rhetorical tool?? (Definitely/Maybe)
D literary embodiment of sublimated feelings projected as idealided love... Have come across couples trapped in a soulless, loveless marriage..... A disastrous marriage is a life sentence... can't we right a past wrong...??? Human affections are subservient to professional aspirations.. Wo/men can become crude, unsympathetic, indifferent, self absorbed, self contained....why do people change.? B what u are...
This writer & his mussings miss no point. Nothings gonna deter him.. Having an audience can help u think better & clarify thinking.... A Breakout Novel..high velocity.. For one born & bred a humble man, d way to wealth is by this route... Not that u care a rope's end about making a fortune... Spade work's done, let yr hopes fly high.. U've struck gold,....hit d jackpot !! What more?? What a Dark horse Daredevil !! Whose protege are u, I wonder.. must b in d genes...Genius..
Metoo thinking of writing ;) D plan, as yet, only exists in embryonic form... Seems like a Herculean task .. !! Bravo !! Man, for having done... u'll b inspiring many..
Chico, with such impressive credentials, this is yet another feather on yr cap.. Am sure d critics too will go into raptures about (rhapsodize) this book of yours... Wondrous !!
Gird up yr loins for d Red letter day !! D gallant & sophisticated writer that u are..is it a graphic novel ?? Am on pins & needles...
Miracle Man's Menior !! An arresting novelist who has broken out of d usual constraints to achieve creativity. There is a positive flow of warmth from this proficient writer. His method exudes a charm that u can't help but b won over... Whole aspect sparkling with health & spirits, having definitely passed d first bloom of youth... He's got d groove... Sir, u sh.lie back & enjoy all d attention, it's yr turn under d sun....
Greetings of d hour, How delightful !! What a Powerhouse!! Amazed at d magnitude of this guy's journey, his acoustic magnetism, measured & methodical ways, that sense of detail, that spark of liveliness, quick witted..., his straight forward frankness is appalling, sucker for romance that he claims to b.. this superfluous energy shouldn't exhaust.. Keep d fire burning..Compelling & Multifarious storyteller. U've aroused curiosity, leaves us salivating, a sort of blissful torture, a paroxysm of desperation... Having unleashed yr true potential, it has propelled u straight into That League to claim yr rightful place..
Every virtue has its reward, they say. Time has condescended to wait His pleasure.. There is a saying Luminary--"Live as if u were to die tomorrow, Learn as if u were to live forever." Moxie, in d mood for celebration? Enjoy this social whirl & feeling of accomplishment... Gifted with intellectual powers & fecund imagination, there is no denying that this novel is a rare amalgam..
Must b neck deep in preparation..R u getting cold feet ? Super driver, slow down, whistle a happy tune. A quest for new tactics takes top priority.. U remain true to yr deepest convictions, having insight into tangled matters & don't allow a mistake to belittle a relationship, not at all being archaic in thinking.. Connoisseur, come hell or high water, with yr meticulous & valiant determination, yr arduous work is going to stand d test of time...
More power to u, pal.
Connoisseur, d terrific writer that u are, yr work is a landmark achievement. An arduous mission accomplished... Congrats.
At this high point of life, must b having a smorgasbord of friends to entertain... Have u ever spent time doing nothing but think, dream & breathe.
Unalloyed joy, unadulterated pleasure,... unblemished & uncompromising reputation, unbiased opinions, unbounded energy what more can I add. Shall get back again...
Deja vu, Larrikin, I've done my homework, see d razzmatazz unfold... unabashed attitude, unarguably d finest writer in an unassailable position, unafraid to speak his mind, unbridled passion (for work) In no uncertain terms unassuming. Unchanged opinions, d uncrowned king moving into uncharted territory. D undefeated, undisputed champ is undaunted, undeterred. Undiminished, unwonted enthusiasm. A look of disguised admiration. Unparalleled, unequalled record of success. Unequivocal intentions. Unerring, unfailing instincts. Unselfish motives. An unfathomable mystery.....Unimpeachable, unorthodox methods. Unquenchable thirst for life. Unshakable confidence. Unsullied. Untrammelled. This unselfconscious Dynamo is unseeingly simply unstoppable. Some things are better left unsaid... want u to b sated with pleasure.
Mr. Nagpal, u r a legendary figure, yr patience & perseverance is commendable. Eulogiums will not bias u, (u can read between d lines) I had set a target of a ton comments/compliments before a specified time period, necessity compels me to write... lemme see if am able to achieve my goal....
A man, a shining example of merit eclipsing all odds. Was it talent, opportunity or destiny...?? a far sighted fellow.. unswayed by praise or criticism. It is when we start taking our image & ourselves seriously that we falter..
Serendipitous discoveries - as a man constantly in d focus of media & public glare, walks taller than his contemporaries, such long lasting success by d dint of his hard work & respect for his profession, all in sync with his personality - spontaneous, energetic, positive. Wears his confidence, liveliness of d mind, happiness of d heart & a spirit filled with hope. Gets what he wants out of life... Fabulous !!
The Book is a detailed & thorough piece of work covering all aspects of d subject he has chosen... Wordsmith's workmanship. Champ, d world is yr oyster..
High flyer is in top form, both his words & his air seemed intended to excite not only d admiration, but d amazement of his readers : he is evidently bent on striking them as something v.dashing & daring indeed...
Yippeee ! I did it ... reached my 100 !!
How do u catch a cloud & pin it down ? How do u find a word that means Apurv ?
Irrepressible & joyous & ebullient..lights us up.
It warmed one like a fostering sunbeam. Can't help but smile... I verily believe, u'll b d happiest man d sun shines on.
Buoyant demand for The Book ? How's d sales drive ? Live wire, u must b d life & soul of d literati circuit, giving a fresh impulse to d vivacity of conversation & it would work like a charm on yr lucky guests.. Must have some secrets to buoy u up & please u with whispers if d future.. d sky's d limit truly for u... :):):)
D other day, was watching one of my all time favourite movie Sound of Music on Romedy Now - picked up these lines for u : "climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow, till you find your dream"
That living enigma, that mystery of mysteries. Cineaste, I see genuine contentment in yr gait & mien... Midas - touch works !! Am superlatively happy for yr success. Nothing would be so merry or so musical as yr own rejoicing heart..
Apurv Nagpal of d Gutsy Writers' Guild is a National Hero of mythic proportions....
Any other man (me thinks) would have been melted to marrow at reading such stanzas crooned in his praise... yr sternness has a power beyond beauty....
This sh. b v.pleasant : there is no happiness like that of being acknowledged by yr fellow-creatures, & feeling that yr presence is an addition to their comfort..
Enjoyed d description of all d love making & foreplay sessions... Shall b frank found d IPL one Beastly... another thing, why do Indian writers resort to Hindi words & galis? I can never understand. Bet d ones who write Hindi novel don't use "phk-u" in our mothertongue!!
Mistakes noted on page no.54 last para "he whispered into HIS" Page no. 74 last para third line "me" appearance. Page no.80 full stop missing after d second para. Page no.97 full stop after d words joy & relief. Page no.117 Mihir - "was now was" Found one particular line really, really hilarious: "yr hard rock becomes a raisin." Hahaha - what a compariso! Never before have I come across one like this : visual blunder...
D ultimate aphrodisiac.. Sir, no steamy pictures ? Spoon position, lotus position.. combined minds, bodies & heavy breathing (Sounds like a yoga session in progess : pun intended) D protagonist seems horny : testosterone fully loaded... Must have been an array of high powered panelists, with an audience listening raptly to scintillating & gallant speeches.. discussing LSD (Love , Sex & er Romance ) An atmosphere of warmth & geniality... Such is d wealth of d power of communicating... Mr.Writer, a groveling fashion of existence.. do d old times crowd fast back on u ? Nothing comes from nothing.. giving life a meaning. Living a life u were born to live. Must have done something good !! Robust in frame as u r infirm in mind, genial in manner with a social heart. Getting praises from all corners....
Gosh! Is that how women rise in d corporate world !! (Kitty Party).. is that d norm in today's hiring & firing job scenario. Why do they have to play with fire to b successful.. what about their competence.? Else they don't have d right to b there...There is a thin line between fact & fiction..but then there is no flame without fire.
D protagonist is darkly sensual & mysterious.. D sensuality of his poetry : Bard could learn a lesson or two !! Am drawn to d poetic sensuous qualities.. A nameless longing ..
Warm Sunshiny romance. A book that stands out. Icing on d cake is undoubtedly d sensual poem. Super achiever had hit d right chords. Off d charts adorable. One who sees d inner beauty, appearances don't matter to him at all. What a narrative fiction. Houdini..
Have raised d bar. Shall take this particular one to figure of 69 !
Dear Mr.Nagpal, u sh.appreciate that there is someone who can give straight to u. It's not a vitriolic or a vituperation attack on The Book. D women are vivacious & well endowed with, eros.. displays of male virility in abundance.. u have shaken d erogenous zone...
Years of personal experience makes u venerable & leaves us in a vasoconstriction state.. vive la difference..
The married couple story : those relationships work where d trust is there, one is not checking d rule book every time to see if they're allowed to do something. U r a mentor guru.... shishya has to learn a lot..this book is an eye opener.."we didn't become better in the kitchen, we serve better in the restaurant" - a phrase I read somewhere.. It is a Brand now... d penny has dropped...people now don't buy products but go in for brands. Great brands have to b true to their brand promise.. Ideas are easy; implementing them is complicated & difficult.. Einstein said that he derived less satisfaction from E=MC2 than from thinking about the problem.. Absolute conviction & laser sharp focus is needed..taken with a pinch of salt..
Often, experiments that challenge your thinking, teach a lot. Am going to nurture this win-win mentoring relationship.... Delivering beyond expectations ? Devoted fans have achieved more than we expected to achieve. Clients r delighted, more creative & productive ! Predictable economics..humming along... "show me a woman without guilt, and I'll show you a woman who has pursued her passions by taking charge of her life." It is hard to be a woman... U must think like a man, act like a lady & work like a horse...
Can't realize how much joy The Book has brought into d lives of people. Began to heal, to laugh again, to rediscover what we had lost. A book of triumph, life-affirming novel. Coup de theatre.. Sex is omnipotent... A poem in couplets by an omniscient narrator. Owe it to You...
Word of mouth matters...have been boasting about d book to my friends...it's circulating non-stop..
Nagaraka- man-about-town.. At times, cracking jokes with sexual innuendo.... Digging deeper, d lesson here is - go with d flow, one has gleaned from d teachings of d venerated, still one remains a seeker.. This Jane Doe finds joie de vivre only after John Hancock... One who understands d nature of human desire... Rigveda says,"The cosmos emerged from the seed of karma, the desire in the mind of the One" Desire travels from our senses to our imagination & often gets focused or fixated onto a specific Person. Yr legion of admirers r mesmerized, having joined d literary jamboree.. Folks, I strongly recommend to avoid big city charms- nightclubs, malls & 5 stars-- seek d company of books to spend lazy afternoons or quiet evenings.. nor necessarily this colourful erotic version... doozy book with jocular comments...Well, time to love & leave u.......
In half an hour found these funny phrases- 1) full frontal attack.. 2) clingfilm wrapped it around his.. 3) sprayed with skunk essence... 4) d globe wud b a happier place if more world leaders had sex... 5) partial to hills & valleys... 6) guided silly by d dictates of yr joystick.. 7) multiplier effect !! This one made me smile d other day while teaching my young ones d properties of multiplication.... 8) revenge will b mine... 9) & d comparison with kishmish..
A humble request, when u plan to take out d sequel, please don't add any abusive language.. women positively find it gross..
Mortally : after all, it's tough work pegging away a language with no master but a lexicon.. Anchor of hope, am no good at sequencing... u've described & depicted d scenes with such ease as if it happened in reality....
A kind of pleasant stupor was stealing over me, experienced amidst unutterable exhaustion a glow of grateful joy..
Speed up to get past d competitors, get d market share & then maneuver to squeeze in d profits... It's important to have humility & respect diverse opinions & also to make readers comfortable so that they can give frank feedback not just Pep talk... Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from d heart, they remain there, firm as weeds among stones... People person, it should b in nature to feel pleasure in yielding to authority !!
Nuggets from The Book : 1) Take those chances.... 2) Think different not incremental.... 3) Nobody should have the fear of saying... 4) Rejection is the best start point in life.... 5) Press the accelerator not the brakes.... 6) Listen..when u do, u understand nuances.. 7) D trick is to try & find a connection between what u are doing & what d thinker is doing... 8) Small ideas can have big impact.... 9) Go by feelings not data... 10) We need to overcome d barriers that exist in ourselves...
He has established a unique place for himself based on d kind of things he writes about, & while not everyone agrees with his hypothesis, most would say he makes his readers look at things in a different light. It's d Indian Cadillac of erotic fiction.. A candid statement... True innovation requires u to b able to stand up to conventional wisdom & take a social risk. It's about his much do u need other people to clap u on d back in order for u to go forward with yr ideas... saying in a rare moment of candour- don't take that "prejudice" remark personally Guruji...
A cachet.. d degree of sexual explicitness in d stories.. all that canodoling.. found another mistake on page 74 "stops rights there" fifth line..
Christmas may b a few weeks away but d stars descended on this Luminary with his feet firmly on d ground. Never-say-die spirit, is a part of his DNA. "18+ mindset till I die.." What a bank of ideas.. In Hebrew : Yeah Atid. Thanks to d urban public mood & media coverage, he has become a known name. His subject a topic of heated debate...
Wow factor! The avant garde by authorship. It's infact autogenic training. .. awe inspiring at times...
A poet who can write multi layered verse. It's modern progressive poetry..poetry is a declining art.. it should b in d language of d day.. d voice of d people.. The man & his artistic sensibilities are juxtaposed & finely woven together in his poetry.... Enough to keep d fanzines in a state of high excitement.. on a winning streak.. People, miss at your own peril.... Dear Writer, i'm new to this field, so am not completely au fait with d system, if I have offended u, i'm sorry, I take back my words..d error is regretted.... au revoir..
D Hooghly story : A moral system valid for all is basically immoral... Chronicle Tales.. an alien territory for me ! Sir, bringing yr vision was nothing short of pure magic. By taking such a theme u must have received an overwhelming response..& by ensuring that d language is conversational.. it's am sure, transcended geographical boundaries & held relevance in d contemporary world...& gained universal appeal. U have brought in experiences to populate d narrative.. In future, shall we b watching an Indian movie based on yr book ??
No wonder I prefer working & doing d household chores on my own... Apna hath Jagannath:) When d cat is away d mice shall play ! In yr stories d sensuous & d cerebral merge seamlessly; a picaresque novel. Am falling short of adjectives.. dunno if I've reached my target..
My dubba computer..same problem.. He has become world renowned, universally revered & respected. D hallmark of a genius. (Beyond reach) Has found d pot of gold at d end of d rainbow.. Our world can use all d anonymous kindness it can get. My attempt is just a drop in d ocean. One among d numerous.. Well written paragraph on page 153 - holds true in our patriarchial society... One of d most sublime sentences -"If something is too good to be true, it usually is." Being funny, witty & naughty is serious work, easy to admire but hard to imitate. He has handed over to us shining, seamless packages of joy. There are some amusing anecdotes by this wine connoisseur... A rewarding fantasy adventure. A book to remember..to cherish..to treasure..
Gratitude is not an uncommon reaction to Mr.Nagpal's ripest stuff. For all its richness & virtuosity, his language is similarly pared & lean, divested as far as possible of adverbs, powered by strong verbs & nouns & with a word not wasted. Slice it which way u will, few sentences are unimprovable : in d precision of its information, in d austerity of its prose & in d anticipation of high drama that dissolves into d bathos of d punchlines...
Had written d 69th earlier, guess it got lost in transit...other readers join me in wishing u many, many more years of writing.. Iqbal's description of a man of faith (in himself) : In this world men of faith are like d Sun. They sink on one side to come up on d other...
He explodes other cherished myths about its other-worldliness, exposes d strong undercurrent of sexuality that runs beneath d facade of its rituals & sacerdotage...
D Book has brought a passion which has created not only enthusiasm for sex, but also an exuberance which is orgasmic, a substratum of sub-erotic feeling... Is sexual gratification made d goal ??
What a metamorphoses, from being at d picture postcard perfect places, crisscrossing d globe , continents hopping, & finally coming back to yr roots..& rediscovering yr true potential..
How would you rate your own book ?
Been trying since mid December,.. this figure of 68 doesn't change, become static ? Is it my obsolete PC, my new handset or 'lost in transit' phase.. how would I know...
The best & most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. - Helen Keller. The book has d blueprints to build a rewarding life.. worth a lifetime of knowledge.. for those willing to self audit.. a valuable gift.. What if this book had been written a few decades ago ?
We are what we read .. expansion of neural pathways. Enjoyable learning experience..
D Big Fat Indian Wedding : a story that captures d quintessence (promiscuous lifestyle) of our scciety... So, I guess, my opinion doesn't matter anymore.., it's d urge within...
Call me old school, but can never relate to casual sex... how can 2 people be so intimate without knowing each other : (2 days in a.....& L.A. Senza) ... what about emotions & attachment & true feelings...
D Corner Room/Her Turn : suggests that sometimes even d most romantic of souls must trade in amorous fantasies for d humbling responsibility of adulthood...
U have managed to describe almost all d aspects that a woman expects from a man, Speak for d male of d species... do throw some light... could b enriching ! Enliven us too...
Dear Neanderthal : prudent account.. Ahem, am agreeably surprised... politically correct..
A quote by Somerset Maugham, d English dramatist & novelist. "There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately no one knows what they are." Mr. Nagpal, I personally feel that an absence of preconditioning & training is often a big advantage because it has allowed u to remain flesh & innovative.
Remain fresh : I meant... Having earned yr royalties & d usual bonanza, by now d expectations, adulation, frenzy, finally would have sunk in... Its said successful people are givers... Pulchritude,.. one can only write on subjects one is knowledgeable about & has a passion for. Chef-d'oeuvre .. would it be churlish to say celebrity is a poisoned chalice.. My friends at work started having lascivious thoughts after reading yr book;)
Spunky, sheen, vivid style has won him several fans across gender divide. Bravura... When we are lonely we yearn for such a book simply for company.. savour d book, folks. This is d book you need, its bang up to date for its brevity & relevance to modern life. An abundance of little known gems. The ability to convey an idea concisely & with humour is a rare gift. This lovingly chosen collection, representing d cream of wit & wisdom is a thoroughly enjoyable read for all who appreciate dexterity with words. If it is not erotic, it is not interesting.. A little theory makes sex more interesting, more comprehensible, too much is a put-down. (& it's d only game that is never called off on account of darkness..)
D book established that while men prefer a direct approach, like women expressing a wish to have sex, perform an impromptu striptease act or "guide" their hands to their private parts, women found d men with subtler approach "sexier" under d given parameters. In other words, d aggressive tactics shown in most Hollywood movies don't work. Advances ought not be overtly sexual.... A majority of women find sex enjoyable but, unlike men, do not seek it as an end in itself... Men equate sexual attractiveness in women with youth & beauty.... their preferences manifest themselves when they attain sexual maturity/experience.
Nature not content with denying him d ability to think, has endowed him with d ability to write. It is Global yet Desi, uncensored sense of humour... (2 Days in a Nerd's Life : A quote :"There's a difference between beauty & charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me." Mr. Nagpal, will there b a sequel ? A sequel is an admission that you've been reduced to imitating yourself. How about some new experiment s? In d words of Ernest Hemingway : "A writer's problem does not change. He himself changes & the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly & having found what is true, to project it in such a way that it becomes a part of the experience of the person who reads it."
A good book on yr shelf is a friend that turns its back on u & remains a friend.... I am a part of all that I have read.... One of my English Literature friend who didn't quite like yr book commented : I wonder whether this book was worth cutting down trees to make paper for d stuff...
Romance comes naturally to him. The poet in him begins in delight & ends in wisdom. Pure passions flow deep & long. Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness. It transforms a distraction into a support, d power of which is in direct proportion to d degree of imbecility it supplants...
My Dadi used to tell tales, ..when they had migrated from Pakistan, she had sewn "secret pocket" in their vests to carry gold... Pa inherited d same trait from her & inspite of being in d services continued d trend. Ma used to sew it for him. It was only after his retirement d practice was discontinued.. aaj bhi aisa hota hai !!
First you're an unknown, then you write a book & you move up to obscurity... Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy & an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, & fling him to the public.
I think all his writing has come into being because of sensuality : a sensuality so great that it overflows d boundaries of d mere physical. How can one feel d beauty of a form, d intensity or d subtlety of a figure, suggestive pose of d prone woman, d quality of a body, unless one is a sensualist of d eyes ? One can feel d heat - an absolute delight. Shows no sense of discomfort or unease, pure justice to his work. Legendary stand on sensuality.. He Dominates. He Rules.. .. ..
There is more treasure in books than in all d pirates' loot on Treasure Island... & best if all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life. - Walt Disney. Writing a book is laborious, it comes sincerely from d author's soul...He thinks like a man of action, acts like a man of thought.... It may be those who do most, dream most. He dreamt & he delivered... All d fun's in how u say a thing. He has a clear style. Style is d man himself. U have reached d pinnacle of success as soon as u become uninterested in money, compliments or publicity.. .. .. First you're an unknown then u write one book & u move up to obscurity... Dear Sir, no writer long remains incognito..
The way a book is read - which is to say, d qualities a reader brings to a book can have as much to do with its worth as what d author puts into it.. one can learn how to read deeply & thus live more fully.. .. D best effect of this book is that it excites d reader to self activity!! If I encounter this man of rare intellect, I shall ask him what books he reads... ( my greatest strength/weakness is to be ignorant & so ask a few questions every now & then.) By annihilating desires u annihilate d mind, but this man, who believed he could do it probably right...
Poetry is d revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior & personal (but) which d reader recognizes as his own.. Talent is what he possesses. D principal mark of a genius is originality, d opening of new frontiers... Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from d prejudices of their contemporaries.. People, it is Infinite Bliss.. Unending adoration...
A storyteller who can hold audience spellbound...
Romance is just like water, u can swim in it, drink it, drown in it, but u cannot live without it. His passion for penning affairs of d heart, his ability to b really observant of d people... Understands people & thus connects with d audiences. Matchless. Master of d genre.. A goodly no.of young women read this book to go into a world of sexual dreams, (hardcore fantasy fiction).. Middle-aged women end up having unrealistic expectations to find d 'ideal' guy who has eluded them in real life. Yet I must say Aspirational ! It's clicked coz it's d regular, real people narratives that have readers swooning.. Choosing sensitivity over passion this Love Lord gives goodish insight into d Indian society & everyday life,.. a nation that has gradually gravitated online....
Such seductive essence, mighty writing. Genius creates a legend.. shall never age or fade. A perilous voyage to an unknown land, his spirit stronger than d sea's embrace.. A cherished secret. A continuing addiction.. seeking d elixir. It is something which, from d very first time I had held, laid so strong a hold on me that I am rendered incapable of liking another of d kind..
A book is like an old romance..
I say chaps, this man is worshipful.. I've always had a yen to travel around the world. .
Olympian's oeuvre is unputdownable ! Posey oozed with Dionysian's sex appeal. Lyrically effective, expressive & impressive. Creative Genius. Politic... A Wine With Plenty Of Body....
Eighteen Plus is the ideal recipe for laughter, fun & frolic..a hilarious satire, on love, lust, passion, sex, society, relationships, IPL & more ! What a roller coaster ride..,.
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings... recollected in tranquillity.. The success of the poem is determined not by how much the poet felt in writing it, but by how much the reader feels in reading it..... ...... ...... If ... it makes my whole body so warm ... I know that is writing free verse : like playing tennis with the net down... Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive and effective mode of saying... the art of uniting pleasure with truth...
Reading is sometimes an ingenious device for drugging thought. When someone has the wit to coin a useful phrase, it ought to be acclaimed & broadcast or it will perish.. I wrote such lovely lines on sensuality Lord knows where they have vanished...
It is a must read. His articulations are infectious - an imperative for writers in any form. His endeavour has created waves. A pioneering effort in truly understanding a much ignored genre... Ratchets things up a notch. Richly detailed scenes, immensely entertaining. I am simply fascinated by this book. It contains stuff that I knew nothing about. It is well worth reading. Excites the mind with parallels to experience. Faint note of hope for human nature.... Someone rare has written with the liveliest sense of life & the warmest, most authentic humour. So likeable... For this book I'd like to say --"Love or hate me, both are in my favour... If you love me, I'll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind" -- William Shakespeare...
Aha! Having proved his mettle, having touched our souls. He's going to establish himself as a writer of extra- ordinary scope. Has received critical acclaim for his methodical plots & meticulous research... Methinks, he has brought vividly to life a broad range of very different characters.. Working on another book, Janab ? Visible in literary circles ? A man of your stature there would be a host of people anxious to meet you all the time. People waiting in bookstores on autographing lines just to get a smile & a signature in a book ( I envy them)..

Speaks volume.. If Apurv never left India, would he have turned into this passionate writer he became ? Could he have effectively driven the message ? He never abandoned or forgot his roots..

Came across an interesting quote the other day - "Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces in themselves." How true... ... Sex is an emotion that is gender neutral; it unites man & woman. But a woman's sexual needs are viewed as unacceptable. Why ?

Sex is an emotion that is gender neutral; it unites man & woman. But a woman's sexual needs are viewed as unacceptable. Why ?.. It's bullshit to think of friendship & romance as being different. They're not. They're just variations of the same love. Variations of the same desire to be close.. V.close.. The DayDreamer that i am...
The Game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears and score your points when you get the opportunity.. ... What i read in Geography about Rio : Rio is feminine, its curves & bends, mysterious streets and open beaches, the rise and fall of the city's landscape. It is a sensual, old, decadent woman.. ( Reminds me of the anatomy described in The Book : Partial to bridges, hills and valleys..) The Bohemian approach to life. Legend has it that in the early 60's, it was the regulat hangout of poets and writers..

Like passing ships in the night that may hoot out a friendly signal, taking comfort from each others presence in turbulent depths of the ocean and the vast darkness around.. Strangers in the night two lonely people.. It was under a sky studded with a billion stars where i met woman's most ancient companion... Loneliness...feeling of complete isolation and separation from rest of life around me. A constant melody humming in the background, when i pined for my love... .. . To be accepted and valued by others is a driving force..but... .. . The rationale delves deep into human psychology. Barriers keep them from saying what they think..no matter how you mould yourself to the casts set by others.

A great way to indulge in local culture, meet happy people and enjoy local specialities.. Vivid colours, loud costumes and cheerful celebrations. Weaving magic.. the joy and madness that engulfs the people. There is nothing quite like celebrating a world championship in your own country. The patriotism, the mayhem of the crowd, the pride the players feel, is without equal.. ... . Miles to go Apurv, ... One life is not enough to quench this wanderlust. A backpacker at heart, who loves the 5-star treatment... Inexhaustible stamina..so immense !
Ocean voyager, a plot : She was in his arms. He was embracing her. She was his. She had just come out from her bath early in the morning so raw so fresh so pure, water droplets still dripping from her body. He stroked and caressed her back with his sensouus fingers. His eyelids became heavy his voice turned hoarse. She surrendered completely to him..
There is no species of self-hypnotism equal to that of a woman who gazes persistently at a newspaper-photograph with the preconceived idea that she is in love with the original of it.

A must share experience.... Recently went for lingerie shopping.. Clearly mentioned my specifications to the lady,.. she looked at that part of my anatomy & got the size other than asked for.. "Ma'am this it the apt size for you, just feel the material, it will fit like glove.." To make matters worse two more of them came with their respective products, each laying emphasis on the make (it being a multi-brand section).. "Madam this one glows at night (displaying the neon\ fluorescent ones)..look at the cut, color, cup size,...this one has Swarovski !!" ... Can't imagine my plight.. am gradually progressing towards my fifth decade would i not know my own contours ? The Baggage of Breasts... Henceforth, shall check out the La Senza outlet..

"Madam this one glows at night (displaying the neon\ fluorescent ones)..look at the cut, color, cup size,...this one has Swarovski !!" ... Nobody can imagine my plight.. (Yep, they were doing their job, but somehow felt odd) I mean, am gradually progressing towards my fifth decade would i not know my own contours ? Hah! The Baggage of Breasts... Henceforth, shall check out the La Senza outlet..
Page number 29, point number 16.. Uska aagoosh hee kaafi hai madhosh karne ke liye.. Gives instant high. Who would wait till the fifth peg ?
Iss se zayada tareef mumkin nahi..
Not only has Apurv served up a hearty buffet of deliciously exciting stories, but we have also been treated to the additional garnish of new technology. Technology is definitely the game changer (for me atleast)... Here is the star pupil of the decade.
A Tribute to Breasts : Such stateliness and dignity that even in her nakedness it was as if she wore a robe...
A Tribute to Breasts : Such stateliness and dignity that even in her nakedness it was as if she wore a robe...makes one delirious..
In terms of stature and respect you've made a significant progress. Driving a vintage convertible to cruise around the country side ... Come on, you're allowed one. Whoa !! You could see that coming.. Your love passion joy and fertile thinking serves humanity.. Exagerated expectations from people is nothing new to you..
Have you been on the road that leads to Ladakh ? I've heard it's an experience that no business class comfort can ever match, no superlatives can ever describe and no money can ever buy. But it's not for the faint-hearted,.. only for those who like to bite into the ice-cream rather than licking it...
How much stranger must be the people and the customs - one would find near the borders of this land. You must be restless to get on the road for a real trip once again. Think about the adventures that await you.... Hardly contain the eagerness to be off...yet again...
He possesses a different kind of commitment, a curiosity for the unknown and the power to inspire. Appu rv in action is practically a force of nature : single -minded, convention defying, a compulsive but calculated risk-taker and a sucker for romance and perfection.
What fuels the fire within him is an unbeatable combo of passion and drive. And that has led to successes, the highlights of his Storied career. In a world full of mediocrity Apurv lives to challenge the Extremes..
Mauja he mauja.. Chad-di kalan...
Mubarakaan Sooneyo... This site completes one year today. Great going... My best wishes and love are always with you. May you continue to do wonders in the future too...
Bahut kuch kehna hai.... Bahut kuch poochchna hai....
People should feel proud of buying this book off the counter or from a bookstore even if it were priced higher.. Up the sexiness quotient with an ever-evolving reader...
I recall reading that one thing common in most successful people is their eye for details, a sharp memory, and a genuine interest in people. He seems to have the right combination, for sure.. He exudes sexuality and supreme confidence..so positive and upbeat. Is the kind of person who is genuinely interested in people and their welfare. No wonder he is sooo successful in life. He is charm personified..with those mesmerising eyes..there is a kind of sincerity and kindness in his eyes... Am dazzled..It is something so deep, so pure and so genuine.. No man matches up to Him... My nerves are taut. There is a gleam of pride as I say this.. He has the grace to blush and I find that adorable. I have to stop myself from leaning into his neck and nuzzling him... .. You know, I prefer brain over brawn, he's unassuming and down-to-earth, like a lovable college professor.. His persona is one that commands respect.. ( To Sir With Love... )... He is an example on how to live a productive life. Mr Surve..am enamoured by him.. A dull aching...longing... The law of attraction - that if you want something badly enough, the entire universe will conspire to give it to you.. Aaaaargh.. ... Can a life be continued on the foundations of a past soaked in unforgettable memories ???
Destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental.... ..... "I don't know the question, but sex is definitely the answer." -- Woody Allen.. Apurv's stories achieve a satisfying velocity... A reading pleasure...
Hiiiiii Handsome...you are help unlimited.. Dear, how do you cheer yourself up when you are down ?
Tried a new cocktail : 1and a half parts of Hennessy, few mint leaves. One spoon brown sugar. Half part of raspberry juice. Few slices of raspberry. One-fourth part of fresh lime juice. One-fourth part of ginger ale. Add all ingredients except ginger ale into shaker, fill with crushed ice. Shake. Shake. Shake your body baby..... Pour ginger ale, stir with a spoon (you could substitute with those long fingers of yours !) Garnish with raspberry slices.. Just lick that finger .. Let's raise a festive toast..
A suggestion : If possible, do avoid the use of terms as - cunt, pussy, tits etc..
He's a knockout, dropdead gorgeous....leading authority on his subject. A man of dominating height, who has reached that magic age somewhere between the sought-after and the available.
His face is serene and only reminds me why he is rarely out of my thoughts, continues to preoccupy my thoughts..(settled for just lying still on my side dreaming..)
Do make the correction in the revised edition of eighteen plus (the first page mentions : : he has seen the last four FIFA Soccer World Cup live) make that five..
Taking Care of a Hard-On : Was wondering : If her choice of bra was so thick (page 12) How could her breasts jiggle ? You know better...Superman's X-Ray vision...
The Condom Chronicles : Birth control pills should probably be made for men. It makes more sense to unload a gun than to shoot at a bulletproof vest...
Such beautiful words : Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I'm yours forever...
Reading is dreaming with open eyes...I sleep with dreams but wake up to reality..
Such beautiful words : Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I'm yours forever...you attract what you radiate....second that thought...
At the Arctic region (North Pole) were you lucky enough to see the spectacular Northern Lights ? Must have been a breathtaking view watching the cosmic delight...
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you ... Anyway, when your God shows lack of interest in you, where should you summon the enthusiasm to even pray, let alone to believe...
Lascivious. A real treat ! But be warned, the entire collection of 18+ is irresistible.... To fall in love with ....! Discover the flavour of the Book.. Tall tales, beautiful stories and touching recitals.. Yet everything he does, he foes so intuitively: no fear. It is an attitude that brings him success after success... "Create what you love and love what you do" Feel amazed... It's this kind of blunt perseverance that makes Appu rv Nagpal stand out. Stubborn, perhaps, but always true to himself and his ideas...
Eighteen Plus will never go out of vogue...
His Book captures a woman's nature with all its failings, frustrations and frailties..
An excepting book.
As readers we have to learn to appreciate his love of detail.. We cannot rush through his novel - we must allow his carefully constructed phrases to dictate our reading speed..
We do not expect undiluted comedy, for the humour Apurv employs is shaded by a deeply felt understanding of human weakness... Books that challenge us seldom are - but it is a rich and at the same time complex work that offers immense rewards for the careful (usual) reader. One of those rewards may well be a greater understanding of our (my) own beliefs and values..
