missed!" |

"This beautiful story
travels from India to New York through the
past and the present as Lucky searches for
meaning in her shattered life. One can’t
help but feel compassion toward this
character even as her strength and will
power inspire." |
|
"An amazing experience with a valuable
lesson to learn." |
|
"A rare blend of masterful storytelling,
luminous prose, and thought-provoking
themes." |
|
"What I admire most about
Lucky Everyday is its intelligence of voice
- not only the craftsmanship but the sense
of place, well-fleshed characters, and
smooth prose." |

wonderful story of courage, spirituality,
and womanhood…It is eminently engaging and
difficult to put down." |

no further.
“The Blind Pilgrim now published as Lucky
Everyday is the PERFECT read.” |

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: 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. |

about women strength and her fight to regain

her name but her confidence and will power
makes her from unlucky to lucky everyday. It

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

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!

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. |

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. |

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

harder before reacting or jumping to

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. |

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 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. |

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

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. |

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. |

Comments: Hey author, This novel
taught me to write as things happen. I loved
that and being a writer a poet and an editor
too that is what we should be doing in a
story form that teaches, speaking out
straight and as things happen. A novel for
all and a must read too! Best |

Comments: Dear Ms Jain, The Blind
Pilgrim was a novel I could not put down. I
was reading it even while waiting for my
sons bus and while crossing literally! Like
you say all is perception and I that is so
true. I loved the yoga and this novel will
make me continue yoga. Best wishes |
