Mahe, originally from India, was one of the greatest writers of the 21st century.
Her works were often based on her personal experiences and her inner conflicts revolving around religion, culture and human relationships.
In one of her interviews she confessed that she could act and dance quite well, but she “sang like the Frog in Vikram Seth’s poem”. The inability to sing kept her from becoming a Broadway theatre artist and she became a software engineer instead. She wrote 12 novels, 23 novellas and hundreds of short stories and several essays. At one point during her career, she became the most popular fiction writer in the world. For a few years she lived in London, where she became friends with Sir Salman Rushdie. In the year 2029, Mahe apparently ‘forgot’ to invite Rushdie to her birthday party and that soured their friendship forever.
She continued to write fiction and non fiction until she died in the year 2087.
On this website you will find the collection of her earliest unpublished works from when she was only an engineering student and was still developing her voice as a writer.
Taking her perpetual state of mind in consideration, this collection is called ‘Numbly Yours’.
