I read Salman Rushdie. Why?
Because I relate to him as an Indian.
Because I relate to him as an Indian living abroad who has had a chance to get an outside-in view of the great subcontinent.
Because I like the way he has changed the contemporary English literature landscape with blending in Hindi and Urdu into the so-called Western man's idiom.
Because I like Sufi mysticism and borderless story-telling.
Because 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories' captured my heart and imagination more vividly than anything else.
Because his non-fiction essays are full of life, rebellion, originality, imagination and reality.
Because we all need some magic in the reality called life.
