My eBook: A Companion to Tourist/Travel Guides for India, has been Published!!
What can you do in India besides visiting regular tourist places?
My eBook – “India: 55 Must See Places & 50 Must Do Things” addresses this crucial but often overlooked question. It’s not a travel/tourist guide with information on places to visit, but it is a happiness guide that gives information on interesting things you can do, when you visit India. It’s a non-fiction guide book and it gives all the info that a tourist guide doesn’t. It’s a good companion book to a proper travel guide to India.
- You can buy My book, “India: 55 Must See Places & 50 Must Do Things” from this Amazon Kindle product page. You can also buy it from Kobo, B&N, Google Play Books, etc. Just search with the title or author name.
Don’t we all wish we knew someone in a place we are about to visit, so that we can get to know some exciting & unique things there? Don’t we wish we could do something other than visiting the regular tourist places? Don’t we wish we knew what local people did to keep themselves amused and entertained? Don’t we wish we knew all this before traveling to a new place?
That’s why I have written this book – I am sure foreigners traveling to India shortly/planning to visit India sometime soon, will find it useful.
This book is short (10,700 words) and to-the-point, but long enough to convey the message effectively. It can be read pretty quickly.
People can also use this book to evaluate if they would want to make that trip to India or not.
I have published this eBook on the Amazon Kindle platform, as I expect my readers to be from the countries where Amazon has a strong presence. You don’t need a Kindle to read this book (although it’s an excellent option) – you can read it on a tablet/mobile (Android, iOS), PC, web browser, etc. using the free Amazon reading apps. The various reading options for Kindle eBooks can be found here.
You can click on the book image (on the Amazon product page) in order to read a sample (the first few pages). Amazon allows customers to return eBooks within 7 days from their purchase date, just in case you don’t like it. If you have any questions, do leave a comment below and I’ll try to answer.
Listening to songs, like the below-embedded one (set in rural India), is among the various tips mentioned in the book. See if you like it –
Go ahead and buy it – A little $ can make your expensive trip worthwhile and more enjoyable than you can imagine 🙂

Congratulations! Great work! I am sending this link to my sons now!
I had not heard/seen this song until now. The Rajasthani dance is beautifully photographed! Esha Deol looks nice. She is a dancer anyway!
I had thought you would play ‘aaj may oopar, aasmaan neeche’!
That ‘aaj mein oopar, aasmaan neeche’ can be played after the book becomes a best-seller 🙂
Destination Infinity
Right! Waiting to hear the music!
Wow! Rajesh, you have finally done it and I’m so happy that this happened so very soon.
Hope the book sells well and gives you immense happiness.
All the best for more.
Joy always,
Susan
I am not concerned much on the sales numbers for this book. I’ll be glad if it is helpful to a few tourists who come to India. Thanks anyway… 🙂

Thank you… I am trying to write one humorous short story collection (in the historical fiction genre). But I don’t want to take up any time-bound targets to finish it. Let’s hope I will be able to write and publish that one too… Thanks 🙂
Destination Infinity
A good job well done.Hearty congratulations!!!
Thank you… 🙂
Destination Infinity
Hey DI, did not know that there is an author in you? Great !!
Well, there is an author in everyone 🙂
Destination Infinity
This is a fantastic achievement and a important milestone. I have seen a number of bloggers progress from just blogging to writers and it does seem like a natural progression. I look forward in reading this piece of work.
Thank you. Do read and let me know both positives and negatives. Frank reviews will help me improve my writing…

Superb DI 🙂 many congratulations… so I am in the company of a published author now 😀 Proud of you.
You are in the company of a self published author now. There is a mountain of difference between the two 🙂
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is one huge step! Super.
Many congratulations and best wishes for many many more!
Damn proud of you
This is one *little* step 🙂 Thanks anyway…
Destination Infinity
You had done it so well Rajesh! Congrats 🙂
The idea is self publishing is inspiring and I also liked the cover of the book and read the sample available at Amazon. It’s a book on Indian enthusiasms! All the best for many such steps in future.
Thanks Jeevan, especially for complimenting the cover 🙂
Destination Infinity

Excellent work Rajesh you are an inspiration to all of CBC 🙂
Thanks Mahesh. But this is just a self-published eBook which anyone can do. I do hope more bloggers will consider publishing their own eBooks… 🙂
Destination Infinity
wow .. way 2 go .. many more congratulations Rajesh Sir !
Thanks Rahul ji 🙂
Destination Infinity
Hearty congrats! 😀 You are phamous!!
Now let me go check it out!
P.S.: I’m curious. Why this song? There are lots more songs announcing happiness.
I love the energy of this song. Have you listened to the audio-only version of this song in raaga.com or music.raag.fm?> It’s too good. I saw the video only on the day I embedded the song here, but I loved the audio and have been listening to it for a long time! I like the Indian feel (to the music) and the depth of the voice in this song.
Destination Infinity
Wow ! Congratulations Rajesh 🙂 Hopefully will get to read it in the near future 🙂
Thanks, but this book has not been written for Indians/NRI’s! 🙂
Destination Infinity
Congrats, Rajesh. I am sure you will publish your short story collection soon too. Wishing the book all the success!
Thanks zephyr 🙂
I think, that short-story collection will take a long long time to get published. I have just finished one story out of 15! Besides, one needs to get a new idea for each story, and feel creative while writing it. Anyway, I will try to finish it, but I am not focused on any time frame 🙂
Destination Infinity
Congratulations on your achievement!
Thanks, but this is no achievement. Anyone can write and publish their own eBooks today…
Destination Infinity
Wow!! congrats!! will download and read it surely! you should write a guide post for us bloggers how to self publish an ebook.
Oh, it’s so simple. You can just write your eBook in MS Word and upload it in Amazon KDP along with a cover image. You can use their cover creator to create that cover image, if you want.
