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.

Coffee and Half-Naked Women
Why has no one thought of sexpresso cafes before, I wonder.
The quote that sums the story up comes from Sarah Araujo, owner of a sexpresso cafe named The Sweet Spot:
Our customers may be half-asleep when they get here, but we do what it takes to wake them up.
Meanwhile, I note that it’s almost 7am, which is to me what 4am is to a normal person. I’ve woken up way too early, but there’s no point going back to sleep now, so maybe I’ll go get myself a coffee. Yawwwn!
