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.

Darkness In Delhi
The comment of the day comes from a private email message from Aadisht (quoted with permission):
Earth Hour makes every place look like Delhi.
This was with reference to these wonderful pictures of Earth Hour forwarded to us by Sanjeev. First you see those pics with the lights on; then you click on them, one by one, and the lights go off. Beautiful.
Who could have imagined, 20 years ago, that I could sit here on my desk in Bombay and see the lights go off across the world like this?
