Editorial Review:
Sexy, surprising, and subversively wise, Babyji is the story of Anamika Sharma, a spirited student growing up in Delhi. At school she is an ace at quantum physics. At home she sneaks off to her parents’ scooter garage to read the Kamasutra. Before long she has seduced an elegant older divorcée and the family servant, and has caught the eye of a classmate coveted by all the boys.
With the world of adulthood dancing before her, Anamika confronts questions that would test someone twice her age. Ebullient, unfettered, and introducing one of the most charming heroines in contemporary fiction, Babyji is irresistible.

Rating:  - Brilliant book
I think most intellectually precocious girls are also sexually precocious, at least in their fantasies - watch out for those bookish girls, when they decide to unleash their sexuality it's usually intense.
The narrator of Babyji is Anamika, an Indian girl in her final year of high school who unleashes herself in a big way. She seduces an older woman, and the family servant, and her friend at school.
Anamika struck me as a real archetype, a girl with a psychological profile that ... Read More
Rating: - Totally Crazy & Hilarious Read
I could totally relate to Babyji...she's a hilarious character and completely frivolous at that too!
Abha has built wonderful characters befitting her ability to tell a funny tale.
I seriously hope there is a sequel to this one! :)
Rating: - Great!!!
Great plot. A neat and very well written description of the characters' feelings and of the sorrounding Indian society. A real masterpiece!
