NOTE: I am not bragging, there is a reason behind this post.
As everybody knows I'm usually working on many projects at the same time, and all of them are in my head or sometimes on a scratch paper, which I throw away later. A dear friend of mine suggested that I should actually write it down and make it public.
The main reason he said is that there might be an overlap, somebody else might be doing the same project. I personally do not mind if many people are working on the same project. After all there are two books on S D Burman, three on Rafi and two on K L Saigal!
However, I decided to follow his advice.
I am not including my finished projects because they are already listed in the Published Books area; all my projects lead to books in the end. So I have two tables, the first one indicates the projects that are active now, in other words people are actually working on them and they will result in books. The second table is the table of future or proposed projects, which are just ideas at this time, absolutely no work has been done on them. My humble request to everybody is that if anybody is working on any of these projects please let me know now by email etc.
