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.

Right Brain or Left Brain?
Check out the image below carefully. Is the chica in the gif rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise? According to this website, if you see her going clockwise, that means you use more of your right brain than your left, and vice versa. If you don’t see her rotating at all, that means you don’t have a brain at all, and should start blogging forthwith.
(Link via Marginal Revolution. And hey, here’s a tip: to make the girlie change direction, hold the screen upside down and then slowly bring it back to a normal position. Please do this only with a laptop, though, and not with a desktop monitor. Unless you see no rotation at all.)
