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

My cat defies cat stereotypes

Olga da Polga is the most affectionate cat I've ever met. We've been away for a while and I came back a little earlier than the Good Thing. She draped herself across my keyboard, vibrating with purrs and this is her sitting on my lap, her head on my chest, purring in time to my heart.
Also I know this is not the most flattering photo of half my face but I had barely any sleep, too many late nights and bad diet so that's why the break out and also it's a weird angle. It's a really good angle of Olga though.
She's not TC but she's doing a pretty good job anyway.

    Sigh. I WANT an affectionate cat. Nice to see someone's getting some cat love, though!

    Rub it in! *sigh* Yesterday in a rare display of affection, Fiona cuddled with me for exactly three minutes.

    Heh. Sometimes she's just plain needy, if that makes anyone feel better. Also, she's not in heat right now, but it will be interesting to see if this behaviour continues once we get her fixed. (I hope it does!)
