So, Aravind Adiga became yet another desi to win the Man Booker Prize for his novel, The White Tiger.
It's his first novel.
On top of that he's a graduate of Columbia University, the University of Oxford and a former contributor to Time magazine.
Oh yeah, he's my age!
Hate that guy!
PS. My old USC colleague Andy Colville and his wife Laura gave me the book for my birthday, before the prize was announced. Very sweet of them, and I had actually been wanting to read the book since I had heard it was good...until I found out he was my age!
PPS. My old USC colleague Doney Joseph told me about Adiga winning, thanks a lot man, thanks a lot!
