Indian Female authors.. you rock gurls

I love to read, earlier i was more into international authors like Jeffery Archer, Charles Dickens, Enid Blyton, Dan Brown ( well he seriously disheartened me.. first two books awesome next two beyond awesome disasters)

But off late i have started reading indian authors, and am finding them real good. My romance with Indian author started with Chetan Bhagat, five point someone was awesome, what really made me feel more excited was he had left his email id to post comments on, I very enthusiastically and earnestly put in my thoughts in a mail, not that i wanted a reply but one acknowledgement would have been good. There came none, neways read his second book and commented, same fate when his third book was released he sends in a mail to all the fools like me to put in a word for him.. sure buddy,, as they say any publicity is good, so he did put me off him by his callousness and even worse with books to follow.



then i read indian female authors, zoya factor by anuja chauhan, almost single by Advaita Kala, finger puppet by anu jayanth, piece of cake i fogot the author.. real nice books and the humour, the choice of words, the sentiments, the thoughts, all i could relate to. But what is more nice is the interaction. All these authors are open to communication, they interact and are passionate about what they write which is so heartening.. I dun wanna sound sexist but i guess what they have in common is being a woman.. hence more sensitive, creative, empathatic and what i liked was the humour which i always thought men were better at.

Great going gurls, you rock.

but when am on Indian authors, do have to mention suketu mehta for maximum city, very well researched book, and the white tiger by aravind adiga awesome narrator .. hmm men too are gettin good at writing ;)..since we show them how to do it..

I dream of writing a book which finds more than one reader .. well someday for sure.. untill then have too many books to read..
