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.

Obama, Clinton, Dowd
I love American elections. Consider this series of comments:
Barack Obama: I spent four years living overseas when I was a child living in Southeast Asia. If you don’t understand these cultures then it’s very hard for you to make good foreign policy decisions.
Hillary Clinton: With all due respect, I don’t think living in a foreign country between the ages of 6 and 10 is foreign policy experience.
Maureen Dowd: But is living in the White House between the ages of 45 and 53 foreign policy experience?
No, no, Dowd isn’t standing for president. These quotes are from her latest NYT column.
