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.

Yer honour, someone planted the chinkara!
Sonia points us to the WTF quote of the day, which features Govinda talking about Salman Khan:
Nothing fails like success. Controversies are often created around young stars. I am praying for Salman.
These words were spoken in the context of Salman being given a jail sentence in the chinkara poaching case. Perhaps Govinda’s next film will be about how some miscreants, jealous of a young star’s success, conspire to place a chinkara in the way of a bullet he casually fires in a random direction. Such conspiracy.
Unrelated news item: “Bachchan crazy for wife Aishwarya.”
I don’t think much of either Aishwarya’s acting or her brains, but she certainly ended up with the right guy, given the rubbish that came before. And I don’t mean the tree.
