mypajama.com is all about storytelling. Stories and essays are published at an alarmingly infrequent rate. Subscribe with RSS or via email.

Part of my motivation behind running this site are the kind words that keep coming in unexpectedly from unexpected (sometimes) places. People have emailed, left off-topic comments and even left orkut scraps to say that they like my work here. You can’t beat that kind of encouragement.

So before this moment of vanity passes and my humble self takes me over, here are some of the messages that made my day (the respective days I got these, that is).

Gosh Vijay!! You really are brilliant - love the way you tell stories - just finished reading them all… Keep going, you’re a legend waiting to happen! — Melody

I love the way your write. It’s a lot of fun….therez humour, therez an underlying seriousness…not didactic… — Indrajit

Please DO write a book… — Az

You are not vain in vain boy. I made my friend and my cousin read your baby entries, and we all think you are a master chronicler of baby exploits. I love some of your entries under the myth category too. — Daya

Until I read your profile info, I wouldn’t have thought this came from a 23-year old guy. You have so much potential, don’t lose it in your humdrum existence. Please take the time to publish a book, if not now, some day. I have bookmarked you and will be visiting often. — Vidya

Too too good. Why aren’t you writing a book you ass? — Gopal Sathe

Read your blog… most of it… and simply loved every bit of it… THE BEST post…where I almost fell off my chair reading was the one where Batman meets Ganesha… hahaha… I still cant stop laughing at that one…u plan to move… to script writing… your job prospects can be great… — Shalini

You have very marvelous writing skills. !! — Virgo

I have visited your blogs. Your writing is very decorative, like my grand mama told the story one after another. She explain one story after another story without any break, her every story always started with family, culture, village, mythology and many others. — Rajeswar Mohanty
