When tall, suave, handsome Kaustav Kapoor walks into her office, ditzy private investigator Kasthuri (aka Katie) Kumar has anything but detection on her mind. He is, after all, a scion of Bollywood’s first family—perhaps he has a role for her? Perhaps she will, at last, get to sashay down the red carpet in a designer gown, with flash bulbs following her every move?
But Kapoor’s intentions are much more prosaic: he wishes Katie to trace the heroine of his new blockbuster (and, if Katie’s read the glossies correctly, his life) who is mysteriously AWOL. Despite her misgivings, Katie finds herself unable to refuse the task entrusted to her, and thereon follows a bewildering hunt for the film star across a trail of corpses.
And if that isn’t excitement enough, she has to contend with the maddening and mysterious, but, oh-so-hot, Tejas Deshpande.
The first in a brand new detective series.
IN BOOKSTORES NOW.
Made up for a good read. Both of you surely are opionated and so debatable, I felt like joining in the conversation..
Good pics too….
@Piyush Agarwal, Thank you
Hey,
I have ordered Rupa Gulab’s book online after reading this post
BTW, is there a way to actually get into writing scripts for television? I really want to quit my job and write scripts for our television so that they stop showing the same lame things again and again and yet again.
Why am I lamenting here? Because I came to know you wrote Remix! I watched it online a few days back and it was a refreshing change.

@Sookie, I’ll tell Rupa. I’m sure she’ll be thrilled
As or TV, now is not a good time to quit your job and take the plunge…recession and all that. Everyone’s cutting down shows. In any case, you don’t decide what to write, they (channels) do
. My advice would be to wait for the economy to pick up before you take any life changing decisions.
Hey!
That was actually my frustration talking
No, I am definitely not quitting my job at this juncture. Its just that everyone knows that things are bad in todays television; the viewers, creative minds, writers et al, yet we have to watch the same ol’ stuff day after day. I honestly don’t get the point.
But one day, definitely, I will write and direct a horror movie.
That is my life time ambition

@Sookie, go for it, girl. I, myslef, am a big fan of horror movies, especially trashy teen slasher ones
