At 17 years of age...

What was I doing when I was 17 yrs old???? Hmm…fresh out of school…joined CMS( for those who dun know…CMS is where I did my 11th and 12th…and its name is in Guiness Book of Records)…and have taken science stream…why u ask…well..uh…I dunno..maybe I had very good grades so Science was logical field…not convincing..eh..well even I m not convinced…and there is She..not even wrote a bestselling book..but accused of Plagiarism…whose meaning I know now..at 23 yrs of age…and there is Shobhaa De…soft porn writer (read any of hers..Socialite Evenings, Starry Nights…)there is no plot …just a soft porn story with some characters woven around that shit…even her autobiography was more of a sneaky peek in the sexual life and vulnerable side of the celebrities…and she never had any fling!!! Any affair!!! Strange!! Its said that generally the first novel are a sort of an autobiography (dun believe me…read ayn rand,s first…or “Hers” also)…strange after 60 years in the fields bordering over fashion field, movie magazine, films and ads…she comes out unscathed…hats off!!! If that’s true but it’s a liitle difficult to believe.. and there is Shobhaa De commenting on “Her”…calling her a poor baby…saying..though indirectly..serves “Her” right…At 60 years of age, what are the literary awards she can boast of?? None…

And there are other Indian Authors..Khushwant Singh…at 90 plus…written an utter crap..”Company of Women”…telling throughout the novel (if u can call it so)…how many women the protaganist bedded…how all the women went berserk seeing his manhood…

And there is Arundhati Rao…whose “The God of Small Things” went out to win the Booker…plz if anyone understands that novel…explain it to me..why do the Indian authors have to be so vague…why cant thay be direct like ..say…John Grisham, Jeffrey Archer or even Ayn Rand..

And there is Salman Rushdie whose Satanic Verses was banned …though I enjoyed his Midnight’s Children a lot..but here again…y so vague????

And there is Vikram Seth..whose A Suitable Boy requires a lot of effort to even hold that book!!!(1348 pages!!!)..1348 pages of long brooding passages…1348 pages of boredom…

And then there is She, who accused (mind it ..it also requires intelligence)..who through bad publicity (bad publicity is the best publicity)…is nothing sort less than an iconic figure(though in a negative way..)…whose How Opal Mehta Got Life, Got Wild and Got Kissed..I am searching everywhere….and I believe many others are searching too…

Lets give the devil his(well..her) due..Way to go…atta girl!!!
