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.

Happy Birthday Rakhi Sawant

WTF headline of the day:

Why was Rakhi sad on her b’day?

The answer, in her words:

I am not celebrating my birthday because I don’t want to. I was expecting some special treatment from Nach Baliye team but nothing happened, so I am very sad.

Well, since she was obviously expecting something special, maybe the Nach Baliye chaps thought they’ll surprise her.

(Link via email from Harish, who blogs on it here. More on Rakhi: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. And some posts on Bigg Boss: 1, 2, 3, 4.)
