Its true... three months, twelve weeks... and BRBG has reached the 10,000 copies mark! It is now in it's third reprint!!!
I'm so excited and thankful for all the support that people have shown. I cannot get over the fact that something so close to my heart - now in the public domain - has had the same effect on so many that it had on me.
So once again, thanks to all those who read it, enjoyed it, spread the word about it and made it successful beyond what I could ever have imagined.

congratulations for such a gud book. i got this book on sunday nd was filled with joy reading this book.it has all life, love, frendship, betrayals, death and college excitement.nd so the suspense. it has everything described so beautifully. one would lastly left with a smile on face after reading this book. it is one of the books i have ever read.
Thanks a bunch for your comments. Much appreciated.
hi, anirban
Am a doc too, and reading your book made me go through those emotional highs and lows of MBBS. A very good unputdownable book, started off as a medical college story but you took off on a different road three quarters down the way. But that worked too. I especially liked the way you developed the love story. it was well concieved and neatly dealt with at the end.
Come up with more of the same,
Congrats and wishing you many more writing success

Hi Anirban!
I picked up ur book last week while I was at the airport in bombay.
The title caught my attention and I bought it and instantly started reading it on my flight back.
The descriptions that u give of all the places bombay, make me actually visualise them.
A very well written book and I must say that the way U creeped a love story in is commendable.
Well done.
Raghu and Binaifer,
Thanks a bunch for writing to me! It is such a joy to hear from strangers who suddenly feel like friends because they feel a connection with something that I've written!
Simplicity Personified!
Hats off to you.
And thank you for givin me such an amazing read.
This is the least i could do...

Thank you Again
Good book!!!
Had a very enjoyable flight reading the book on my way back to the UK. Bought it at the duty free in Mumbai.
Brought back many memories... I am a GMCite too
Love the way you blog .. now will try to get my hands on your book .. :)
Great Stuff. After the first 100 pages, I sent off a couple of copies to old college friends. Wish these sissy justices would stop discouraging ragging: the stuff that makes a man.
Thank YOU..Anirban Sir..for writing and giving meaning to this book. Finished reading it today..and after a really long time a book was able to generate interest..so much so that I was stuck to it for the entire day.
I can say nothing much as an amateur..other than that the book touched me in more ways than one!
Best wishes,
Soumya
Dear Anirban,
If any one can make a flim on five point some one then why not on BRBG....
Loved ur book but i feel that the language should be more easy.
Waiting to see a movie on this...

Dear Dr. Anirban,
I bought your book yesterday at Hyderabad Airport, and have finsished reading it. I just couldnt put the book down and strangely its just the second book Ive read in close to 10 years. The other one being Dan Brown's Angels and Demons.
It was quite a fascinating read, and I could relate to it as I was an introvert from Thane who studied in St. Xaviers next to GMC and my persona changed completely, Much like your character Adi.
Great work on the book and I cant wait for the short stories to come out next.

@Rohan,
Thanks a bunch for your comments. Much appreciated. The next book should be out this Dec...hopefully you'll enjoy that too! Again, thanks a bunch for contacting me.
Anirban
Dr. Bose, I had two things which I wanted to ask you regarding BRBG
1) Did Renuka reunite with Neil?
2)Is your reference to Isha your wife? Did both of you study at GMC?
If its too personal please ignore.
Finally are you on Facebook by any chance. You have close to 500 odd followers there for the BRBG page.

Hi Rohan,
The answer to your second question is yes and first question is that Neil was my imagination... sorry to dissappoint!
