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.

Remembering Dubai
Line of the day:
Before Dubai, a place like Dubai existed only in Sim City 2000.

If that boy doesn’t become the best travel writer of his generation before he dies, I will kill him. Promise.
