Hi DP: I also did not mean that you lauded Ms. Desai for her writing skill only, as you said it is not the sole factor. I am glad that there are few people like yourself, who have so unbiased perception of anything, but one quick question to you do you feel the same if she pictured the similar instances to the city where you born, grew up and spent some part of your life??? Not to forget here, she spent some part of her life on that area to rule out the notion of a historian but a fiction writer. Well, what can we say more when there is a big heritage behind her surname, education to name few.... Anyway, thanks DP for sharing with us.
