Hey Sidin - love your writing style. You're at your best when you mix humour and hyperbole of the highest order ... keep it going and folks will start talking about "sidinisms" some day :)

I really appreciate your courage in dropping a 'regular' career for something you love doing and obvioulsy excel at. I have been one of those guys who have been lurking around for months, reading and enjoying your blogs but never posting any comment. But even i couldn't hold on after reading about your decision. Hoping to read some really interesting books authored by Sidin Vadukut in future.

All the best!

listen up dude, don't judge your decision too fast..Just give yourself some time and you will soar up like anything.

You can't keep a good man(read writer) down for long, just remember that!

I read somewhere that shakespeare became famous a 100 years after his death. I have also read that Ghalib and Premchand led a life of penury. Recently well known writer employed with the United nations Shashi Tharoor said " A full time writer is a rare phenomenan the world over"

So even if is a calculated risk, it takes guts which must be appreciated. I hope that you are successful and form a support group of all similar people(especially writers and poets) so that other people are inspired to chart their own course.

Best of luck.

Sidin,
I think, when you suspect you are too damn good at something,and when you arent really doing much about it,letting it lie dormant inside you, it is only a matter of time before it begins stirring to life and making a godawful noise to come out. If not now,later, it will get so loud, it becomes bum-f***ing painful ignoring it.(it already did for you) How can you regret something that you just had to do anyway?

You be sure you are going to come across a million snags and blocks you wished you had anticipated, but really, there is only so much of homework you can do,so many of these become evident only after you take the plunge, you being no babe inthe wood types, am sure have done as good a job as anyone can.(yeah yeah..)

There is a also a chance (miniscule) that you find you arent as great a writer you thought you'd be (we all think otherwise :)). but really, when you took the decision, you knew you JUST HAD TO knock, a response, at that point was relatively inconsequential.(no, really..)

I think bouts of doubt at this point is only natural, but then if you put yourself into that frame of mind when you took the decision you'll know AT THAT POINT IN TIME, you couldnt really have done it any other way, given those premises you had at hand then, you did the only thing you could.

boy,(and cant resist the customary apology rider to all sermonising spiels), but am I sounding full of (sh)it?

Just trying to extend my bit of comfort and enc. here..

Dude, I've been a regular reader of your blog for about three months now, and you've managed to walk away into the sunset with such finesse that there would be a whole lotta people wanting to treat you as a role model.

In addition to the amazing entertainment that your blog provides, you're now making all these pseud self help books redundant by being a living breathing example of following your dreams.

Congratulations, best wishes, and may all the forces be with you.

happened to read a very interesting (and maybe a year or 2 old) piece of literature by you ("The Travails of Single South Indian men of conservative upbringing") in our company bulleting board (posted by some fan of yours)... thats what got me here...

way to go, dude. during times when all i can think of is quitting a job that pays well and start doing something that gives me some sense of purpose or achievement, i see guys like you who actually do it... hats off to u...

Hey Sid....this is one of the toughest decisions you have taken in your life dude!! Hope you succeed in your endeavour...in anycase you still have your trump card ( read IIM degree) in your pocket...so you can always get back to the rigamarole of the corporate life.....but just a passing thought...couldnt you have pursued this writing profession along with your ATK job???
