My latest book is The One Who Swam With The Fishes.

"A mesmerizing account of the well-known story of Matsyagandha ... and her transformation from fisherman’s daughter to Satyavati, Santanu’s royal consort and the Mother/Progenitor of the Kuru clan." - Hindustan Times

"Themes of fate, morality and power overlay a subtle and essential feminism to make this lyrical book a must-read. If this is Madhavan’s first book in the Girls from the Mahabharata series, there is much to look forward to in the months to come." - Open Magazine

"A gleeful dollop of Blytonian magic ... Reddy Madhavan is also able to tackle some fairly sensitive subjects such as identity, the love of and karmic ties with parents, adoption, the first sexual encounter, loneliness, and my favourite, feminist rage." - Scroll

Ladies and gentlemen...


... Romance has left the building.

Meh.

I knew I was having too much fun.

The question is NOW what do I do with my time?

  1. Welcome to singledom. It's not bad, at least you know your judgement isn't clouded by a bunch of random brain chemicals. It's uh, nice. At least we get to make fun of all the soddin happy couples.

  7. raindrop: welcome BACK to singledom, you mean. You can check out any time you like, but you can never le-hee-ve.

    anon: I assume you're talking about the picture? It's actually a vintage ad, which would explain--but not excuse--the sexism.

    imhunt: thanks.. there's Constructive Suggestion # 1. :)

    distrakshun: Nooooo, not too soppy. Thank you, btw, for saying that, but I wish I could meet these men in Delhi, or maybe they're just all in hiding, when I need them. :(

    jhantu: Constructive Suggestion # 2! You guys are on a roll!

    hyde: search me :)

    cale: Okay, noooooo. Why would I switch over to the enemy? Boys lie, says Happy Bunny, and sometimes stink. Maybe I should explore the possibility of being with my own, FAR more reasonable, sex.

    jim: Constructive Suggestion # 3! This rocks! :)

  9. Ouch. If it helps, I know what you're feeling. The thing with time and all that. Grah! (Just to make you feel happy, I might not comment here all that often, but I read ALL your posts. :D)

  11. Was it ever there in the 'building'? Hope you are not confusing romance with someone who just came to check how the balcony and stall were in the building.

  13. Imhunt- Modest Mouse is great. Listen to Wolf Parade too. Their producer is Issac Brock, MM's frontman.
