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.

Sowing And Mowing
The news item of the day comes from The Hindu:
Air Customs seized 59 handguns from the baggage of two passengers who landed at the International Airport at Karipur. [...] The two claimed the guns were meant for “agricultural purposes”.
Maybe they were going to plant the guns, water them for a year and get an arms factory out of it. Jai jawan, jai kisan.
