Indian Blogger Compulsive Confessor gets a Book Deal

Telegraph has a interesting report about an Indian Blog Compulsive Confessor written by Delhi Born but Mumbai based writer Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan. Compulsive Confessor is written in a sexy steamy style where Meenakshi discusses everything from her boyfriends past and present down to Jat Strippers. Meenakshi is a journalist with Outlook on the cultural beat and this style of writing has gotten her a Book Deal with Penguin for writing a novel for new age women pretty much like Sex and City for India. For my part I am sceptical about Compulsive Confessor's fan following with a 400-500 hits per day its not a lot but this article is a sure shot publicity gainer and this pic ala Basic Instinct smacks of a publicity stunt here is what Telegraph has to say about her

Brazen from the beginning, the young Bombay-based blogger decided to call her Internet journal "The Compulsive Confessor", issuing a titillating invitation to share even the most intimate details of her life.

Unsurprisingly perhaps, the publisher Penguin India has commissioned Madhavan to write a semi-autobiographical novel, hoping she will rival the success of Candace Bushnell, the American author of Sex and the City, in giving voice to a new generation.Her book, due out early next year, promises to be racier than previous Indian chick-lit novels.You can read the complete story here
