Round 2, Ladies & Gentlemen! My apologies for the rather rapid entry into speaking but that's because I accidentally cut off the first sentence and I cannot for the life of me find the necessary shutzpah to record it again. The bit I deleted parts with the merry news that Mayapur Speaks will now come to you twice weekly: Monday and Thursday. Thank you for the many requests for reading topics....they shall be fulfilled. Feel free to write with more demands or threats---I'm open to it :)
52 of you added your thoughts:
Would you please call me every evening and tell me a bedtime story? Your voice makes me feel peaceful.
I was so ready to hear this, (I'm ready for a peace-filled nap), and it's not working. What am I doing wrong?
It's not working for me either...
ok not to dogpile but its not working...will check back in a bit
It's not working here ....some problem with the file
Oh, thank goodness. I thought I was the only one who couldn't get it to work. I'm sure you'll have it up and running soon enough.
Such a super new header.
I am a media troglodyte
and only read text
but I love you lots anyway.
Gorgeous new header. Will come back to listen.
uhmmm okay wheres that play button missy! I can't wait and I too want bed time stories and maybe some singing too :-) Why because I love you...
oh crap it's only wednesday duh...it will be thursday tomorrow...here's my sign!
I'm confused here. . .
Are you messing with us????
me neither :-(
WTH? I came to hear your supersexsay voice and got nothin!
nothing. . .
NOTHING! I think my puter is broken.
ARE YOU BLOCKING ME!?
I got it to play as far as "and then the fun began." It stopped there twice. Such a wonderful voice I almost don't mind. But I do mind. Can't wait to hold the book in my hand and read the rest.
When is this book published? Can I pre-order on Amazon? I can tell that this is my kind of book.
I'll be sure to let you know when it hits the shelves :) Thanks Movie Girl :)
Oh, do let the fun begin!!!
Wonderful introduction, accompanied by a voice meant to be heard. I can hardly wait for the book -- and the audio version.
Oh, and I adore the new header . . . colors I conjure in my mind's eye when I think of India! (Though I bet they're just a few of the colors!)
You're killing me with the book reference! I can't wait to read it. And when it is published I think you should be sure to do a book on tape as well. I don't normally enjoy them, but I think I would savor the time spent listening to you read the words you have written.
And I am LOVING Mayapur Speaks.
oooh as I sit here with my eyes closed I let your soothing voice wash over me with the intoxication of India and your journey...(chills I tell ya gave me chills) I can't wait for more, I can't wait for the book, I can't wait for YOU to come tour the USA and go on Oprah :-) she's gonna love you and man could you teach her somethings!
YOU lil tease ending it with and then the fun began...!
I have decide I would like my book on audio please and want you to read it okay..that way I will always have you around to listen to.. to soothe me all the time!
"and then the fun began..."
Teasing isn't nice, darlin'.
Not nice at all.
I can't wait to read the whole book. Thank you for more of your lovely voice.
Loved it, loved it! Was nice to hear how Braja came to India and how it affected her.
xo
You are a gem, Braja!
Aloha-
Comfort Spiral
It's STILL not working for me! Why is it working for those people?! They don't love you like I do!
This is mot working for me. I feel very sorry for not being able to hear your voice.
The sound of silence?
Not working for me either! I'll just rest a while and imagine what you might be saying...
I'm with Susan on this one. I reckon you should read US ALL a bedtime story. Please.
I think this may be a nightmare. . .
Braja speaks, and I can't hear!
I'll come back. Nothing happens when clicking. Ughh.
Hi ~ Well. I came over to thank you for leaving such a kind comment over at my and quickly found myself reading, reading, reading...back in time through your older posts. I was in Hyderabad India last Feb. for my daughter's wedding so it was fun and interesting for me to be able to have my memory jogged. I love everything about your Bloghome and I will be back to visit again. Take care!
Eureka !
I just clicked on "Mayapur speaks 2" in Braja's short new addendum to this post. It takes you to an Open source page. To the left there is a thing called Stream (Hi-Fi). I clicked that and was able to hear the WHOLE thing in Windows Media Player.
It actually went beyond ,"What fun !"....
What fun, indeed ! Wonderful...(Just checked the planets. The Moon is in Taurus, the Sun is in Virgo, Jupiter is in Capricorn I am in Mumbai, and Braja is in Mayapur . The configuration has to be perfect to hear the stuff. :-) ....)
Silence reigns here, too...
LOVE IT! I can't wait for the book!
Beautiful job! Thank you :-)
xo
oh pooh! It won't work for me either. I'll go out and come back in. Maybe that will help.
I adore your blog. Everything about it is so relaxing and peaceful to read and enjoy.
Thanks!
I want my Mayapur speaks
I want my Mayapur speaks
I want my Mayapur speaks
I don't want page not found! ;-)
Ouch, I keep trying, with no success.
Great opening to your story, Braja. Well told!
Your voice is so lovely and calming. Your love for India is alive in each syllable. It makes me want to go...
shelter, home, sublime.
Braja, will there be a CD with the book, read by the author? I do want a copy of this book!
And your voice. . . . the voice of an angel? YES! The accent. . . it's how everyone in heaven will sound. . . I have placed an order for that? :)
The new link worked! Hurrah! Oh I love the bit from the book that you read. How exciting. You shall have to keep us all up to date on publishing times. You have a lovely voice - calm and peaceful and wonderful to listen to.
I think that Mayapur needs to tell Otin how to use modern technology! LOL!
Thanks for the new link - that worked for me! :) Will we be able to pre-order a copy of the book when it comes out? And can we pre-order an autographed copy? :) I agree with the others - you should consider doing it on CD, too - your voice is beautiful and soothing...normally I don't like to listen to a book being read to me, but you I would enjoy! :)
That was the coolest.
Glad it worked for you IB :)
Stacy, now that you mention it, I possibly will just read it all online :))
please choose to do a book on CD! I think i might choose that over reading it myself. there is something that is simply enchanting about your voice.
and ps - nice start to your book!
Crap! this wont play for me! Is this a test? am I failing? Cause I can't hear you and it's very frustrating! This is a test... crap.... I am failing the test!
