Yep! Kkrishnaa’s Konfessions is out in book stores and is literally flying off the shelves. Okay, so I visited only one store yesterday. But it is doing well theree so I’m taking the liberty of extrapolating this to the universe of stores.
I walked into crossword yesterday and asked the store manager for a reco. She looked at me up and down and somehow slotted me into the chicklit-cum-crime reader category and recommended Kkrishnaa’s Konfessions.
I didn’t know where to look or how to react. It was kinda hilarious and a little surreal to be recommended one’s own book. I think I turned a peculiar shade of pink-purple. Anyway, the manager looked at me anxiously and said, “You don’t have to buy that book…we have other recos as well.”
At which stage I hastily said, “Kkrishnaa’s Konfessions was fine.”
She nodded sagely. “Good choice.”
For those who want to read a bit and then decide, I have updated the Kkrishnaa’s Konfessions page at the top of this blog. You can read the first chapter there. Or you can click here to read the first chapter.
Cheers!
When tall, suave, handsome Kaustav Kapoor walks into her office, ditzy private investigator Kasthuri (aka Katie) Kumar has anything but detection on her mind. He is, after all, a scion of Bollywood’s first family—perhaps he has a role for her? Perhaps she will, at last, get to sashay down the red carpet in a designer gown, with flash bulbs following her every move?
But Kapoor’s intentions are much more prosaic: he wishes Katie to trace the heroine of his new blockbuster (and, if Katie’s read the glossies correctly, his life) who is mysteriously AWOL. Despite her misgivings, Katie finds herself unable to refuse the task entrusted to her, and thereon follows a bewildering hunt for the film star across a trail of corpses.
And if that isn’t excitement enough, she has to contend with the maddening and mysterious, but, oh-so-hot, Tejas Deshpande.
The first in a brand new detective series.

Hey Smita. Just read the first chapter, and loved your take on the soaps…that was hilarious. Will definitely pick up the book and give you my quirky take on it.
So how does it feel to finally see the book on the shelves?
Quirky Indian
Thank you QI. Hope you like the rest of the book too. And it feels kinds unreal…like it’s happening to someone else.:) Is that normal?
Hi Smita, I picked up the book couple of days back to read it on flight. I was getting weird glances from fellow passengers because of my non-stop giggling. I enjoyed it a lot and the parody is wonderful.
I have been recommending this book to some of my friends!
Good luckk!
