Roy not only wrote the screenplay but also appeared in a major role. Long before her Booker Prize fame, she drew heavily on her own years at the School of Planning and Architecture in Delhi, turning student life into story. “In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones” was her first screenplay.

When a dear friend recommended The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, it took me one page to grow up. 

As a reader, this classic novel will always remain in my heart as a symbol of courage, love, loss and above all, a symbol of enchantment.
