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.

Vote for Sulabh Shauchalaya
Now that the beauty of the Taj Mahal has been validated by the West, it is time to get ready to vote for the next big international contest. India Uncut is planning to conduct an online poll to find the Seven Public Toilet Wonders of the World. This is an important celebration of our modernity—culture and music existed 1000 years ago, but hygienic latrines weren’t so commonplace.
Voting details will be announced later. For now, let me simply say that it is important for India’s national pride for Sulabh Shauchalaya to finish among the Seven Public Toilet Wonders. So please tell all your friends about it, and begin a personal campaign for this noble cause.
Needless to say, when the Sulabh Shauchalaya is included in the final list, I shall flush with joy.
