“Someday when you write your autobiography, it’ll be nice to begin with stories of your early struggle as a writer. It’ll make good reading than the biography of an IIT/IIM graduate, who held corporate positions for years, and then shifted to writing.”

Asha,
Congrats on your first book! I haven't read it but I know for sure that you have addressed a topic that many of us pretend that we do not see while living as expats in the Persian Gulf. It's a great feeling to tell someone else that your former classmate is an accomplished writer. Keep up the good work!
