Just got into my bed. And will open your book. Loved the title. And you were so you on stage.
✿
Well you are not only a well known businessman, but husband of a well known author.
✿
Love you. God has given you incredible gifts of talents and the beauty lies that you have chosen to use them, to give yourself time to be alone sometimes and understand what you really want and pursue it. You are incredible my dear Dheera.
✿
Congratulations!! The evening went off so well. Thank you for calling us. I am so impressed by you!
✿
Dheera, what a wonderful evening! I was quite overcome with pride over your achievements, and emotion at everything you’ve gone through and emerged triumphant. Naseeruddin seems like a really nice, thoughtful guy - perfect choice.
✿
He made you feel at ease and then you were so natural and in full flow.
✿
I believe it was a wonderful event last night. Sorry we missed it.
✿
I started your book this morning and read continuously till I finished “All the Roses Were Hers” just now! So beautiful and so sad! I can see so many bits of your life woven through the story! Such verbal facility in spite of your dyslexia?! Well done! Now looking forward to the rest of the book!
✿
We have to celebrate your dream come true, your book and your success. Where do I buy it? Amazon? Much love as always.
✿
Dheera you are brilliant. Spoke so well. Wish I was there. Love you a lot.
✿
Happy for you.
✿
Hi Dheera, I started reading your book last night and could have continued until the early hours of the morning if my ageing body hadn’t got the better of me. The words flow so smoothly, like a gently flowing river. Each scene was vividly captured in my mind and I could empathise with poor Noor who was always dismissed as stupid. You haven’t processed the world differently; you have processed it beautifully and accurately. May your words give you abundant courage, enabling you to live up to your name. I can’t wait to get to the end. I admire your tenacity and resilience. You’re an inspiration to us.
✿
Dear Dheera… it was a super duper event last evening. Everything went off beautifully. Kudos to you and your family and thank you for inviting me.
✿
My good luck that I was able to attend the best book launch. Then to sleep in a comfortable bedroom and spend such a nice time with all of you.
✿
Dheera ji, it was a privilege to be part of the celebration yesterday.
✿
Dearest Dheera, what a beautiful and wonderfully special evening. An ode to you and your amazing journey. We were so happy to be there with you and the family. Can’t wait to dive into your book.
✿
Thank you so much for including me in the lovely evening yesterday. It was just perfect to have Naseer and Ratna do the readings. I loved the interaction with you. Your writing is beautiful and haunting. I was particularly wrapped up in The Peach Shoes story. Looking forward to reading the novella and the rest of them.
✿
Thank you so much Dheera for inviting me and Haresh. I so enjoyed it. It’s amazing that you have accomplished so much with the learning issue of dyslexia. Hats off to you.
✿
Shukriya for making me a part of this beautiful event! You were so refreshing and candid. Lovely. Will cherish the book.
✿
Dear Dheera, so proud of all your achievements in everything you do. Forgot to pick up my copy of the book. It’s the first book I will be reading after 15 years. Cannot wait to read it.
✿
Dheera, you were truly candid and absolutely amazing. You were so completely yourself despite being in front of such an exalted audience. Can’t wait to start reading your book. Well done!
✿
Thanks for a lovely evening. I am absolutely delighted that you chose authenticity over everything else.
✿
Doc! What an absolutely warm and revealing evening. Nice to cultivate deep relationships. Thank you for inviting us to share this very personal moment. Feel so much a part of the family. Best wishes for continued success.

She’s charming and I loved her book. — From Naseer
✿
Hi Dheera. Your book is by my bedside but I just don’t want to start it. I fear finishing it and then I can’t bear for your words to stop flowing.
✿
She worked hard. This has been marvellous for her.
✿
Indeed..I borrowed from Brij..and sat with one breath to arrive at THE PEACH SHOES. Then I exhaled.
✿
Oh the sari looked gorgeous.
✿
Brilliant evening.
✿
He really was. And you were comfortable slowly. Then your sense of humour emerged and your script was very Dheera. No artifice.
✿
We are supposed to read your book for our book club meeting later this month. I believe you will attend also. Wish I had been there for your book release on the 30th. I wonder if I can either collect the book from you, or if you could mail it to me via courier or VFast.
✿
You’re a bona-fide star D! You stole the hearts and minds of all those who were at your chat yesterday.
✿
I should thank you for thinking of me. It was a wonderful evening, and I’m so glad I was there to hear you speak so openly about your early learning problems. Kudos to you for all you have achieved. After hearing the snippets read by Naseeruddin and Ratna, I’m looking forward to reading the book myself, once it hits the book shops.
✿
Dheera. What a special evening. You were magnificent in the interview. Honest, brave and humble.
✿
Congratulations on the spectacular evening and wonderful reading. You are marvellous! Or rather your words are terrific!
✿
It was such an honor to see all the people who love you celebrating this sublime accomplishment of yours. Bravo.
✿
Haven’t stopped telling everyone about your book and the fabulous launch. It was a grand evening. Thank you so much. So proud of you dear Dheera.
✿
I’m so proud of my awesome author Nani! The reading went perfectly and you were brilliant.
✿
Congratulations on a fantastic achievement Dheera Bhua. Your insightful and creative mind, engaging writing and authenticity shone through. So proud and privileged to be there.
✿
Here’s to unravelling many more stories with you. Much love, always.
✿
Enjoyed the interesting discussion of your book and had a peep into the hidden life you have led in the special place you created at home. Thanks for a memorable evening.
✿
Many congratulations to you.
✿
Dheera, thank you for a delightful evening. Also for the book which I started reading last night. Here’s to many more. Now I can boast that I know an author.
✿
Thank you for inviting us yesterday. It was a delight to see you and be part of your special day.
✿
Dheera, what a wonderful and well organised enjoyable evening. Thank you.
✿
I was mentioning to Nitin that one never felt you were dyslexic as you were way smarter than him. Stay blessed always.
✿
So much to be proud of! This was such an incredible reading, and I feel so privileged to have been a part of it. I can’t wait to read the book. Thank you for a truly special evening.
✿
Wow! Great session! Please do congratulate Dheera on her new adult book and the impressive release!
✿
Dheeras talent spreading great news. Our very best wishes. Congratulations.
✿
And that they did not charge and accepted based on reading the work!
✿
Please take your time.. I am still so overwhelmed at that evening and your friends and Gaut and Gog’s friends who came with soooooooo much love. And really it was a tribute to the love you have spread that showed up in that special evening.
✿
Super success.
✿
Thank you all for your individual and group efforts. Great memories. Rest and reconvene tomorrow.
✿
Thank you for making me a part of your journey with the pen. Do drop in and see my new library.
✿
Congratulations on your book launch Dheera Aunty! Yesterday was such a lovely event - I had the best time and loved the reading of your book. I hope you write many many more books.
✿
I have missed a fabulous event, have a brilliant friend who made waves and am truly unhappy I couldn’t be there. Was it taped?
✿
Thank you once again for remembering me and inviting me to be a part of such an important milestone.
✿
A stunning venue for your book launch. Will look forward to reading it. Thank you for gifting it. Will get you to sign it one day.
✿
I was so torn but had to slink away early for Neil’s play but got a full account from Mama.
✿
It was a beautiful evening dear Dheera. I never knew that you had missed the power of words for almost 40 years. However you have never looked back since. These are so beautifully put together. Thank you.
✿
Thank you ever so much for an absolute treat! Didn’t even think you’d be dyslexic. Wow! You’ve overcome it and how! What an amazing achievement! So impressive.
✿
Thank you for including us for the book reading event and for sharing these photos. Deepak and I enjoyed meeting everyone and got goosebumps hearing The Peach Shoes story and your conversation with Nasiruddin. We look forward to reading the rest of the book and sharing it with family.
✿
Thank you for the book and a lovely, special evening. So proud of you. Your craft and your gumption are both remarkable.
✿
Words fail me Dheera! Thank you. You are magnificent.
✿
Thank you for an evening that was delightful and thought provoking. Looking forward to meeting every facet you unfold in your life journeys. All the best!
✿
Dheera that was quite a show. The ambience, the presentation, and the food were all in abundance. Thank you!
✿
Thank you Dhira for inviting me. The readings were brilliant, especially Ratna! Looking forward to reading the book.
✿
All the best, Dheera. You have inspired me to keep learning no matter what your age is.
✿
Absolutely marvellous. Hats off to you dear Dheera. There was poetry in your prose and you held us all spellbound.
✿
Dear Dheera, Anita came here directly after your function and gave us a comprehensive and vivid account of everything, including the very well presented event, the praise of the book, and in particular the talk from your heart. We will be there for the next book release!
