What's The Story?

‘Live from London’ is a light-hearted, quirky, tongue-in-cheek and acidly sassy novel set in London and Mumbai. It follows the life of a young Indian girl against the backdrop of the British music industry.What happens when fate forklifts a fun and fearless 21-year old from a crazy college costume party and puts her straight onto the stage of 'Britain's Got Talent'? Utteh disasteh, as the Brits would say.Nishi Gupta lives in London, loves playing her red beauty (guitar) and has a knack of seamlessly landing up in dicey situations. Unable to battle her humiliation post a stage debacle, she interns at a record label company, where she finds herself attracted to an international recording artist with a slightly funny name, Nick Navjot Chapman. Nick is part Indian, part Canadian and entirely sexy. A short steamy affair, a gig on Nick’s debut album and a ticket to stardom; life comes at her fast. Then the unthinkable happens and she finds herself back in India trying to build a fresh life in a country she barely remembers. But wait, auditions for society-defying rap bands? Was this the new India everyone had been telling her about?

Excerpts from the novel

Chapter 1, page 1

I was shivering like the mainsail of a fragile sailboat in vicious ocean winds. A drop of sweat rolled down my freshly overdone face and cracked the paint slightly. Nothing had the power to comfort or calm me down. My friends, who were by my side, my self-confidence, my good karma, nothing. I feared that any second now the announcement of my name would hit me like lightening and I would have no option but to present myself on the stage and pretend to be a pro singer, where the entire country on television and the rest of the world on YouTube will forever remember me as a disaster on 'Britains Got Talent.'
