Dear Mr. Mahendra, Kindly appreciate the remarkable achievement by this lady who has brought pride and honour to or country.Her mother is writer.She has probably inherited these genes from her mother. Please leave your chauvinistic tendencies behind and see life in a bigger way. It isn't bad to appreciate a mother.I think that only a remark like "Where is Mr. Desai?" without a word of appreciation for these women only shows that you are a spoilt sport. I hope you have read the article.You are supposed to share your comments after reading it. I like the article and kudos to Kiran desai for doing us Indians proud.
