Thirdly, i never wrote the book to make money. All the pictures used are from people who gave me permission to use the image as it was a non-commercial venture. An individual picture can cost 10,000 rs to buy its rights. Since I have used many dozens, it would have cost many hundreds of thousands of rupees to get all the images.
The only way to publish it was to give 1 lakh rupees, and get 400 copies or so. Then i would need to market and sell them on my own. Which was and is impossible. I cant individually go to shops and deal with them
