ere’s something I would like to share with you. A year ago, I got a call from a journalist with a magazine (a leading women’s mag) congratulating me for the success of the book and offering me one of their advice columns. They have a wide readership, he said, and their readers had loved my book and wanted my opinion on what they should be eating and what exercises they should do, etc. Just as I was feeling really good about myself, my ego getting massaged, he said that all I would have to do is pay Rs 25,000 for half a page. “What? I thought you would be paying me,” I blurted out. Anyway, though he felt he was presenting me with this wonderful opportunity to reach out to all potential clients...I declined.
