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.

India And The Sex Olympics
"If there were a sex Olympics,” I wrote last year, “India would win the gold medal in all the sprints.”
Well, guess what—there is a Sex Olympics. Vanessa Mei writes in:
I read your blog about Indians not doing well if there was a sex olympics. Well, we are hosting Sex Olympia 2009. I’m sure there are some events that Indians will do well in. After all, the Kama Sutra does come from your holy land!
Here’s a list of events, in case you wish to participate. National pride is at stake, so I insist that India sends a contingent. We’ll dominate the sprints, and Raj Thackeray’s MNS boys would surely excel at the Team Clean and Jerk. Go India!
