Mridula Koshy is the author of Not Only the Things That Have Happened, published last month. Her short story collection,If It Is Sweet, has received critical acclaim, won the 2009 Shakti Bhatt First Book Prize, and was shortlisted for the 2009 Vodafone Crossword Book Award. Mridula lives with her partner and three exceptionally wonderful children; when she travels it is so she can return to them. She believes that travelling is not about itineraries but about changing one's mind, something that reflects on her entertaining description of a road journey.
