I'd never heard of an unmarried British Asian Girl ( B.A.G.) Getting pregnant before so when it happened to me I just couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t married or even engaged, I was like any other girl seeing a guy and that too behind my parents' back.
But what choice did I have when my parents didn't see dating as a normal thing for a B.A.G to do?
I didn't want my parents finding me a guy who I didn't know, or even like!  I just wanted to get to know a guy that I could spend my life with and be happy.

 Did I make the right choice?

1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell’s prophetic, nightmarish vesion in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of “Negative Utopia” – a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No o­ne can deny the novel’s hold o­n the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions-a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

First Published in Hindi in 1975, this novel created a furore, for it was the first of its kind to discuss ‘homosexuality’, a subject kept under the wraps so far… This is a novel which tells the story of 57 Lanes joined to a road, like ribs to the backbone. Written in the black water of Uttar Pradesh, the most populated state of Indian Republic, it describes characters that are fearless, and yet command a lot of respect from their friends and acquaintances.

Black Water’ is just not o­nly a tale of human relations; it is also an impelling reality. It is the wide Expanse of Deep love that gives birth to a new world in the human heart. Characters, despite possessing their own individual personality, appear like different forms of the same picture.

I this, his first novel in five years, o­ne of India’s most widely read authors returns to territories he knows best: twentieth-century Indian history, bogus religion, and sexuality.
