Over rated

Among my more modest ambitions is to win an Oscar, a Grammy, the Booker and the Pullitzer. I would add all in the same year, but as an admirer once pointed out, that’s not technically possible. A song, a film and two books are still all ruminating in my creative juices. Meanwhile, I critically appreciate others’ efforts. My eye for sometime has been on Indian writers in English and, English writers of Indian origin; knowing that I might one day make one or both categories. Both have some wonderful exponents. And, some pathetic. And, some over-rated. Like, Jhumpa Lahiri.
