  About the books. I always wanted to write, I wrote short stories when I was at the [Isobella Thoburn College, Lucknow] college and one was published in their collection, I still remember.Why I remember, it's amusing, is because all of us had to write these stories and then they were read out in class. And at one point, one of my very close friends, she had written a story and I giggled at one point which was sort of romantic and sentimental. And the teacher who was an American with a very severe face, looked at me and said "And why are you laughing?" I said well, it was a bit sentimental, wasn't it? She said if there had been more sentiment in your story, it would have improved it. I always wanted to [write] and they would go round and round in my head and sometimes I would put it down and sometime I wouldn't. And they were published, some of them, in papers and magazines in India [like The Statesman or The Pioneer], in those early years.  | |
