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.

How To Beat The Keystroke Loggers
After reading my post about how Mumbai’s cops are installing keystroke loggers in Mumbai’s cybercafes, reader VatsaL wrote in with a safeguard:
start > programs > accessories > accessibility > on-screen keyboard
keyloggers won’t be able to deal with those
although some are programmed to take a screen capture every time a mouse is clicked,
on-screen keyboard > settings > hover to select > ok.
I always practice that at all cybercafes, never know what they have in there
just the perfect recipie for a delicious pc. virus rotten, spyware salted? no worries.
macs come naturally flavoured.
That’s a good safety measure. To add to that, change your email password often, especially when you return to a safe computer after having used one at a cyber cafe or somebody’s place. You don’t want Hawaldar Tambe reading all your flirty emails.
