If your not-a-memoir is going to be anything like this, you're looking at a bestseller! Happy belated birthday :)

Hi Akshay, thank you so much, for both the belated birthday wishes and the bestseller belief! <3 One of your earliest comments on my earliest writing ("Brilliant -- empathy through and through for Tin Factory") resides in the hall of reviews on my website. So thank also for adding to the kitty :)
