Love you gals. A C K N O W L D E G E M E N T S I would like to thank Khadija Zulqarnain for suggesting Indireads to me and vice versa. You were the one, Khadija, who read that first embarrassing and hilarious romance ‘Koh- i-Noor’ and kept me entertained with your letters and cards while I recuperated from ‘mumps’.
