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.

Dear Pankaj Vohra
Dear Pankaj Vohra
In a recent column in the Hindustan Times, you wrote that Rahul Gandhi should “look into who among his colleagues were engaged in politics for their own narrow ends, and who were the ones who kept the party and the country in mind.”
I have a request for you: Could you please name three Indian politicians who keep the interests of their party and country above their self-interest?
Just three.
Thank you for your time, and warm regards
