Kiran Desai wins the booker for "Inheritance of Loss"!!!!!!

Congratulations Ms. Desai!!!

I am happy and excited!!!! (and vindicated also!! hehe)

Great literature need no excuses. Take life with a pinch of salt, and learn to look at it from others' viewpoints.
This is for all those people from the Hills of Darjeeling who feel that she, as an author, has done an injustice to the people of the area. I say, 1st please go read the book. Then take a cold shower, and reread the book without your biases and prejudices. Learn to be broader minded and tolerant and you will then understand what it is all about.
