My Friend Sancho
My first book, My Friend Sancho, was published in May 2009, and went on to become the biggest selling debut novel released that year in India. It is a contemporary love story set in Mumbai, and had earlier been longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize 2008. To learn more about the book, click here.

Are You Asian… ?
Here’s the WTF billboard of the year so far:
The website being advertised is quite disgraceful as well, promoting things like “freedom in Christ from homosexuality.” You get the picture. Sigh.
(Link via email from Lalbadshah.)
Update: P2C2U writes in to inform me that this billboard is actually a photoshopped parody of one that says, “Are you Gay or Lesbian and don’t want to be?” I therefore take back what I said about the billboard being WTF—it’s actually excellent satire.
This makes me go WTF, though.
