To say that finding Q was easy would be a lie, I am sure I would have found 007’s Q a lot faster! I managed to find this writer because I was searching for all popular names with the alphabet Q and of course writers with the same. A chance discovery that she co-authored a …
With the alphabet P, I bring two authors whom I grew up with and who groomed my generation with a very positive attitude towards India. I share Uncle Pai of Tinkle fame and Pran from Chacha Chaudhary. Who hasn’t read these two? The third author is present day India, history & mythology fan; Devdutt Pattanaik. …
The AtoZChallenge has been especially difficult for me this year, coupled with the move to another state has left my blogging in a sad state. Still I continue and N brings with it one of my very favorite author R K Narayan. Just his name evokes so many happy memories. Followed by Kiran Nagarkar and …
As we have moved through the alphabets I have realized that a lot of women authors have done an amazing job of putting the Indian women writers on the world map. For the alphabet M, there are two women whom I feel are definitely worth your time and a must read. Sudha Murty needs no …
L is about ladies and love and life with lots of good reading. L brings to you my very favorite and beautiful Jhumpa Lahiri. Yes, I am a big fan and am cursing myself for still not having finished reading The Lowland still. She shares space with another lady whose writing has so much heart …
I again use both first name and surname for this alphabet. Khushwant Singh is in K because S is such a common alphabet that there is a big war going on there already. Yes, choosing authors for S is difficult because I am spoilt for choice! For K today I have 4 authors yet again …
Today’s alphabet is “J” also took a lot of searching before could finally zero in on the authors. When I had found one and was floundering to find the author that was also very popular with the masses, I found Madhur who is not just a writer but a ‘jane of many talents”! She had …
H brings to fore three very diverse writers. On one hand, I share writer, journalist, and serious novelist Indrajit Hazara. Followed by my favorite and my inspiration Simmi Harshita who writes in Hindi so should not be on this list but I tweaked it a bit! Not to be left behind is the third author …
The authors that I am sharing with you for the alphabet H were long decided; even though the post was not prepared. Their names had been doing cartwheels in my mind’s blogging corner and yet I could not get this post on time! Life loves throwing googlies to us and yesterday was one such time. …
I always thought that finding an author with the alphabet F would be fairly fun and fast but as I discovered, it was not quite so. To my desperation, I finally succumbed to mixing the first name – surname of the authors. I had thought I would be able to hold on to listing authors according …
The 4thletter has inspired me to try and encompass as many authors as I can find for the alphabet. So I think it was destined that I talk about 4 authors today. So cool; 4th alphabet = 4 authors. I start with the supper acclaimed and talented Anita Desai, a writer who needs no introduction. …
C brings to fore the vast variety and talent the Indian authors have. Both the authors today are not dedicated writers but professionals first who have done wonders in their profession as well as writing. Sadly I have not read both but have them high on my TBR. I foresee a manifold addition to my …
