This
impressive new publication may well serve as a
springboard for a new generation of writers from South
Asia. Sulekha Select achieves the impossible. It integrates what I always thought could never be integrated. The complete Indian experience. - from the foreword by Pritish Nandy Fascinating...What emerges in all these writings is that elusive but all pervading character of 'Indian-ness - Shyam Benegal,
director of Ankur, Nishant, Manthan and Zubeidaa . Sulekha Select will make you laugh hysterically and cause tears of painful empathy to course down your cheeks. - Mira Kamdar, author of Motiba's Tattoos: A Granddaughter's Journey into her Indian Family's Past The real, modern, Indian story...No less than a pioneering effort,...one thread that binds them together is a complete picture of being Indian in this new world, where merry continent-hoppers, idle humorists, incessantly analytical philosophers and angst soul-searchers together, define an entire culture. - Huned Contractor in The Times of India (Pune) Once an Indian, always an Indian, no matter how far the winds may take you. There is no escaping your deep-rooted sensibilities. This, in a nutshell, is what Sulekha Select is all about. Forty-two pieces of e-writing that encompass the Indian experience in today's world. Set in home turf or far-flung corners of the world - they are quintessentially Indian in perception - Priya Menon in The Indian Express A
must-read. Witty, thought provoking, inspirational and at
times nostalgic...superbly written...a vibrant and highly
involved reading experience. Vibrates
with life and creativity like the website that gave birth
to it. These are voices of a young, resurgent India. And despite the varied notes they strike, the signature tune remains the 'same - 'Sare Jehan Se Accha...' - Dileep Padgaonkar, Executive Managing Editor, The Times of India |
