Suzanna Roy: The Perils of Success

There is a literal cottage industry to undercut Suzanna Roy from critics, creative writing professors to her ideological adversaries. She will make more money than ever. It is obvious that her activism will percolate through her fiction. Lives are not lived in neat compartments. Most folks who read CB criticise her. The paradox of the aspirational middle classes. 
Her publisher will make a killing. Someone tag Meru Gokhale of possible. 

Ramadan Kareem 

The solace of the Magrib prayer, next door The smell of the tandoor for the elaborate Iftaar 

The city-region coils into family mode

Streets are empty

Shops leisurely open for patrons 

A celebration of faith deeply personal 

Life progresses into a slower track

Modernity makes space for the old
