Career

Roy began her career with The Vague Woman’s Handbook, a quirky novel that was published by HarperCollins[1][2] in March 2011 and subsequently appeared on the India Today Bestseller List.[3]

She has also authored The Weight Loss Club: The Curious Experiments of Nancy Housing Cooperative, yet another quirky novel that was published by Rupa & Co.[4] in July 2013.

Currently she is working on the second book of the Vague Women series, tentatively titled The Vague Woman’s Guide to Paris, as well as a travelogue, The Heat and Dust Project[5][6][7][8] (along with husband Saurav Jha), that chronicles the story of travelling through India on local buses “on a very very tight budget”. The Heat and Dust Project is also a first-of-its-kind dynamic book as the couple used Facebook to document their journey even as it was underway.[9][10][11]
