'The Men Within' by Harimohan P

The book, ‘The Men Within’ by Harimohan P, my friend, has made it to the number 5 slot in the bestsellers list in the day before yesterday’s ‘Metro Plus’, supplement of ‘The Hindu’. I am glad about it since it is a good book. I was intrigued that such a good book has not been mentioned in any bestseller lists till now, but now that the book has made it to the list I feel happy for my friend who has put his heart in writing this moving book and it shows in the reviews of the book that range from over the board praise to some really high appreciation from some famous names.

‘The Men Within’ has been described as India’s first cricket fiction. Hari launched the book this March and there was a tremendous response to the book reading at ‘Akshara’ in Hyderabad. There were book readings in Mumbai and Bangalore too and he is planning to have readings in Pune, Chennai and Kolkata soon.

His website
http://www.harimohan.com/ is on the net and gives more information about the author and the reviews of the book. There is an interesting page about how the book came to be written and published that aspiring writers will find very useful.

In the pipeline are more books by Hari. Watch this space.
