Comments: Hello Bapsy, I would like to read your book, so I'm going to buy it asap, the main reason is because I'm losing my eye sight, related to a brain tumor that I recently had removed last two months ago. Before my surgery I practiced Bikram Yoga at the greenvalley studio, here in henderson nv...I had a chance to meet bikram back in may when he visited our studio. I'm sure that I will gain, strength and hope from ur novel. I have heard so much about it too. So I wish u much happiness and peace, and know that ur book will do very well. Best Wishes

Comments: Dear Mrs. Jain, I've been wanting to write to you since last week of July 2009, when I read your book - The Blind Pilgrim for the first time (en route to completing all road shows for our institute). It is a compelling and a classic book, and I definitely could not grasp every word. I sat with an MS Word document or a dictionary to quickly look for meanings of the words :):) Hence, I read it for the second time, when the message sank deeper. My Compliments to you for the message to the reader, the flow of the book and level of the language! Hence, I decided to write to you. All the best for your future endeavors! With regards, Ritu Tibrewala

Comments: I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Lucky Everyday and BEG for a sequel. You are going to come back and give us more about Lucky and her life after the ordeal, right? If not, I would love to know when you're going to write another book. I love your writing style and the insight you provide in the story.

Comments: Hi Bapsy jain I was so struck by your novel Lucky Everyday that I would like a follow on to Lucky’s life. She for me is the perfect heroine strong but vulnerable and taken over by events which she wades through! That is so like life. I often wonder what Lucky would have done in my pwn circumstances.

Comments: Lucky gives us courage in the face of adversity. That is the strong point of the novel. I needed to see more of all the characters and Steve was the msot interesting, I am still questioning the irony of the setting of a prison. The more I read the more I am understanding the irony in the novel. Well done to you.

Comments: Received a copy of your novel on Friday Sept 18th for review. I am a Dean Koontz fan among others. At that time I was in the middle of Mr. Koontz new novel, Relentless, which is very good. I put him aside, and started on your novel, Lucky Everyday. This was some time around 5pm Friday. Weekends at our abode can be full at times, so when I had spare time I was picking up your novel. I finished at 9pm Sunday night. Well it left me with a small amount of disappointment. My journey with Lucky, came to an end. Honestly I wanted more. Your novel was excellent, I think most readers will have a hard time putting it down. From beginning to end, my emotions went on a roller coaster ride. Your talent will be one worth progressing with over years to come. With the likes of Yann Martel and Life of Pi. You Mrs. Bapsy Jain will be a travelers delight for the imagination. Your writing is up there with the likes of Capote, Salinger, Koontz and King.

Comments: I just finished reading your book and would like you to know that I enjoyed it very much. I took over a month to read it, as I do with most books. However during the course of the month, I always looked forward to getting back to where I had left off. I think you have articulated very well the personal and spiritual challenges and tribulations experienced by a contemporary person in the modern urban world. And the book skillfully weaves Indian thinking and philosophy as something whose applicability transcends countries and cultures and time. The book reflects the author's keen sensitivity and compassion for the human condition. The history or basis of the strong bond between Alec/Susan and Lucky did not come through to me. After all they played a crucial role in her survival. I also thought you would depict at least one torrid scene between Lucky and Amay ! The ending quote on spiritual beings undergoing a human experience is wonderful and powerful ; you may in fact have spent a couple pages delving into it. Thank you for this great novel!

Comments: Some people are born to read what other people write. Bapsy Jain was born to write... Lucky Everyday, her first book, is a wonderful novel. As a reader I was pulled into the story very quickly. Lucky, was someone easy to feel connected to. Lucky was a very likable character. She was bright, independently minded and very strong. The story had so many unpredictable twists and turns. This kept me wondering what was going to happen next. The use of yoga was brilliantly integrated into the story line giving a weight to the message. I found myself, sitting up late into the night reading, not wanting to put the book down. Bapsy Jain, left me thinking there is much more to Lucky's story.... and when I finished the novel, I was wanting to read on.

Comments: I certainly agree with those who said Lucky Every Day was "unputdownable". I was actually a little disappointed with it was "over", as I wasn't ready to disconnect from the lives of the characters. While Lucky was certainly someone I wanted to know--someone I would enjoy having as a friend--I actually found her attraction to, and kindness to, Steve, one of the more inspiring and interesting aspects of the book. Steve was actually a character who inspired me the most, as someone who was trying to do the right thing, against all his past experiences, and against the odds. His transformation when extended kindness by Lucky, and ultimately his desire to have more for his child--more than he ever got as a child--is something very moving and special to me. I was also moved by the inter-connectedness of people and places, and the idea that we are all in this together, and that we are all essentially the same--a central and intriguing theme. I have recommended the book to many of my "reader" friends and am excited to hear how work is going on your future projects.

Comments: What an inspirational novel it is. From the beginning to the end it has a new message for every new chapter. It's about women strength and her fight to regain her self. Though Lucky is not so lucky as her name but her confidence and will power makes her from unlucky to lucky everyday. It was a great read; I am really inspired with it. It's about to see things in a positive way inspite of bad circumstances and to believe in yourself. This is really a not to be missed novel.

Comments: I thought the book was wonderful; here is my experience, reading it. "Lucky Everyday" reveals the exquisite beauty of the simplicity of ones heart's desires and the complexity of it's passionate actions. The author paints every setting in the novel with a meticulous brush; the vividness of the characters and their surroundings is simply astounding. The journey of the title character, Lucky Boyce, evokes a sense of gorgeous poignancy as well as rekindled optimism. Lucky's honest charm juxtaposed with the conspiring egos of her destined adversaries exposes the nuanced complexities of trust, inherent in human relationships. Through the story we witness the creation, destruction and recreation of an examined life. Lucky's journey epitomizes the vibrancy, as well as the depravity, of two magnificent cities. Lucky's path draws us into the seductive beau monde of Bombay and the spirited bohemia of New York; yet illustrates how quickly these worlds can be transformed by circumstance. The author illustrates how the splendor of a world can woefully breed megalomanic characters that seek to destroy the truth. Lucky's experiences disclose the veiled bigotry of society and the lonely path to salvation. As she navigates her afflicted course, Lucky embodies an unfailing grace and an innate strength; her character is moving, enriching, and extraordinarily inspirational. The spellbinding novel compels you to read it in one sitting, but Lucky's fighting faith resonates with you long after. Lucky's story finds a place beyond reason and emotion, but meditates in a profound corner of your consciousness, silently inspirational and powerfully memorable. Thank you for the lovely experience of the book! :)

Comments: Lucky Everyday, I loved it - very absorbing and the characters were each so unique in their own way - Lucky full of gumption and courage, Shanti with her incredible wisdom and the calm way in which she explained how one must deal with life's trials and tribulations, not to mention the prison in-mates. I am sure writing this book was hard work but also a lot of fun and fulfilling when it was finally done. A super novel. I passed the copies you sent me to a couple of my Canadian friends. What next?

Comments: Hi Bapsy, Lucky everyday is a beautiful novel. Lucky adopts Steve's child. This shows what a big heart she has that even in spite of her problems Lucky can reach out to save another being. I believe like Alec we all have the power to change a life or many lives but we do not do so. This novel makes me want to do for others and somehow only when we really reach out to others do we really help ourselves. Adoption is one of the noblest things we can do to give another hope and there are so many children in the world without families, who need a home! I'm glad that Lucky chose to adopt Steve's child and I am sure this will inspire others to do likewise. A superb novel which will hit the bestseller list! Regards, Matthew Cheung Toronto, On

I forced all my family and friends to read it and every one had a different take on what they liked. We did discuss it a lot and the one consensus I got was that it was loved by all. That speaks of a very good book indeed. One of my favorites for sure! Best Wishes, Dianne Kirby Mississauga, Ontario.

Comments: A great book for all readers, despite that Penguin appears to target young women in particular. Lucky, the protagonist, grows from an ambitious young professional to a fully-mature woman. But the twists and turns and interesting characters she meets along way will keep any reader turning pages. A mystery? Absolutely. A coming-of-age novel? Sort of. A novel with a message? Yes. But above all, a page turner with a strong inspiring message. A very entertaining book.

Comments: Lucky Everyday is a well crafted novel with lots of surprises, twists and turns. I simply loved the character of Lucky and the fact that she is like a typical 'girl-next-door' battling and struggling with everyday issues like the rest of us. Lucky Everyday gives me courage and hope. It subtly blends the Asian principles of philosophy with a modern take on love and life. I was so wrapped in the novel that by the end of it, i felt i had gained a friend, philosopher and guide in this book.

Comments: I really enjoyed reading Lucky Everyday and the way in which it talked about India and the culture there. I love getting glimpses of Indian cultures, and this is so much cheaper than traveling to India!! I think I can relate to some of Lucky's problems because in a way they are universal, what all of us face sometime or the other and the way she overcomes them. The trusim to real life was what held the book together.

Comments: The characters in the novel are like everyday characters but Shanti's voice really stood out . That's a good thing -- the lessons here are timeless, and Shanti's murmur in the background makes the novel a must-read. There is so much to chew on and the way events happen, Lucky joining Mike as a business partner despite him hustling her. That is how life is- we take the shortest cuts and land ourselves in trouble! I have passed the book on to my friend who also loved it!

Comments: Great story that has taught me so much. The plot was a real twister but what hooked me to Lucky Everyday was the lesson that we should not let our emotions take control. Now that I am more aware, I can make a conscious effort. I do think harder before reacting or jumping to conclusions. I hope more people will read Lucky Everyday and learn from it like I did.

Comments: Lucky in this book were so believable and so are the events. Jain comments on life as it happens and while in a novel one may say that is only a chance these chances are really what make up our lives. The chance that Lucky had to marry Amay but missed it is so true to life. The ending was not pat a little harsh but ever so satisfying that this lady is able to look beyond and even in that state understand that this was what she had to face and had to find the happiness in her heart really brought huge tear drops to my eyes. Yes a truly satisfying different novel that was so enjoyable.

Comments: Dear Mrs. Jain I enjoyed the subtle of symbols and ironies in Lucky Everyday. When Lucky wonders who would trespass onto prison grounds which she herself is doing and likewise when she wonders how prisoners can live their lives behind gates and guards; but she herself lives in a gated community with guards. Like it is pointed out to her life is a prison and in a way we are prisoners in one way or another, !our habits our likes and dislikes and our fears do imprison us!! We also have to look to free ourselves and that is what makes this novel great it shows us our own thinking and forces us to introspect our lives. I want to learn yoga too!! All the best Regards, Murtuza Markham, ON

Comments: Lucky Everyday isn't just called that because it's about a girl named Lucky - it's because the book shows that life is all about luck and what an important part luck plays in life. The good part is it shows us how to move ahead and not let luck really influence us as our reactions and thoughts are what moulds our future. We all make huge mistakes and over react to many things and like Lucky they stare at us in the face later, like for example Lucky not taking a second opinion from a doctor in Bombay when she is told she cannot conceive. A useful lesson for us all.

Comments: Dear Bapsy, Lucky and her connection with Shanti, was to me a subtle, extrasensory connection between a guru and a shishya (student Or one who receives knowledge). The lessons taught by Shanti were absorbed by Lucky and created an oasis of calm within her. It has inspired me to start my own inner search in seeking for truth. I thank "The Blind Pilgrim " for leading me to also explore the different aspects of yoga, and how mental peace can be attained through a concentrated effort to practice the breathing exercises.

Comments: Dear Author, My take on your novel The Blind Pilgrim. Just great! Lucky is a real woman...someone you would find in your own family. You would not know what she has gone through till she has been compelled to reveal. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, indeed!

Name: Mitali
Email: mitalimerchant@gmail.com
Comments: Dear Mrs. Jain, I absolutely loved the book and have to say that Lucky the protagonist of the novel the Blind Pilgrim was like so real going through similar trials and tribulations that everyone comes across sometime. That gave her a sense of realness and showed me the book is in touch with reality and the way out of the messes we find ourselves in so much of the time. At that moment they appear real but like Shanti says, “everything passes.” I would put this as one of the best novels one can read today.

Email: malvika25@gmail.com
Comments: The Blind Pilgrim is inspiring! Perception, position and possession are only illusions and when I see the way Shanti puts this across and think about it I agree in the long run they are illusions changing from time to time with our changing perceptions. There is no real good and bad as Lucky sees Steve can be good and Perkins the law enforcer can be bad. Overall the book is brilliant and I highly recommend it for all.

Comments: Dear Ms. Jain, What I like best in the Blind Pilgrim was the parable of the Blind Pilgrim, the man who found himself in a way by walking the path. It's true - we can never judge another until we've walked in their shoes! For me the Blind Pilgrim was a great read and the way it mixes around ideas and events made it so special and different as a novel!

Comments: Dear Author, The Blind Pilgrim is an unusual and broad based novel. It has something for all of us and switches from being drama to an action packed thriller thriller to a romance novel and a great inspiration for yoga enthusiasts and for people to start yoga. I am sure Lucky’s the heroine accomplishments would be diminished without her great yoga feats! A must read for all and a novel with a great message for living life.

Email: adhirajharish@gmail.com
Comments: Dear Ms. Jain The Blind Pilgrim was just great! It weaves together many incidents and events ultimately showing us how to take control of our lives by looking at them rationally and keeping our emotions in check. If we realize how to play the game and the Blind Pilgrim puts life in perspective like a game eventually we will succeed and success is learning to enjoy our lives and feel good about ourselves. I had never viewed things this way but now I have a new perspective and this novel teaches me how to be feel free!

Comments: Dear Author, Your novel’s heroine Lucky showed me how to look at things differently to examine different stand points and perspective, to act rather than to react. Shanti really moved me and I read and re-read Shanti’s words in the novel. This really has some words of wisdom for everyone and that is what appeals in the novel. Besides it is so unique I must have read many many novels but to read one as powerful as this one has to be lucky just once. A powerful story and like I said before truly unique.
