Had the privilege of being in conversation with @vikasswarup yesterday at the launch of The Girl with the Seven Lives. In 2005 I was in conversation with him at the launch of his first novel Q&A that became Slumdog Millionaire. Jai Ho Vikas!

Heartfelt thanks to Hemu Ramaiah for arranging a superb book launch at The Folly, Amethyst, Chennai! It was wonderful to be in conversation with @JayakumarNavin, who had also done the honours during the release of Q&A in 2005. The attentive audience made it even more special.
