The moment I heard her say "from India" I turned up the volume in the car radio. It has to interesting fa random radio station is broadcasting something by an Indian and then giving the credit as well. You wouldn't understand if you are sitting that far off, across the atlantic, in the very land that is being talked about. You have to be outside it to comprehend.
As it so happens, the term India, over here, only brings about a series of mustached bad english speaking bachelors and their laptops trying to impress a white man with his coding know-how. So it was indeed a welcome change to hear someone from India who is a non coding person, (whom I suddenly want to meet and talk in length to) from India talk so passionately about a book she read and recommends, on a foreign radio.
There is a link in there which would speak out the short essay as well, if you would care to listen. It is just.. captivating! and makes you want to read the book right away! I know I want to.
