Hi Maya08 ,

Chetan bhagat's writings are good. You should read his first novel "Five point Someone" Its a college boy's story and his mistakes in college life.
One night @ callcenter was also good but not as good as the 1st one.

He has his new book "the three mistakes of life " released.
Haven't read it yet.

Apart from the list mentioned above , another indian author which i liked - Jhumpa Lahiri

Hi All,
This is a good writeup..
I'm having a presentation on 'Indian English Authors and their contributions' as one of my goals. As I browsed, I found an interesting website Largest Online Shopping mall in India, Buy and Send Gifts to India. It is called the IndiaPlaza Golden Quill Award and it is to recognize and encourage Indian writing. It actually gave me an idea about the number of writers and their amazing work.
