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.

A sort of trivia
Neha Dhupia says about her character in Delhii Heights:
She is stuck in a sort of trivia where she has to balance her personal and professional life.
In case some of you quizzers out there are suddenly excited, calm down: I can only assume she meant “dilemma.” Sigh.
Update: Quizzers Rishi and Quizman write in to inform me that perhaps Ms Dhupia is somewhat erudite, and was making a scholarly reference to a possible origin of the word “trivia”: in Latin, Trivium means “the meeting place of three roads, especially as a place of public resort.” [Source.]
Ya, right!
