Denise Tarasuk asked Vaseem Khan:

So much fun! I enjoyed Inspector Chopra and Ganesh! Thank you! Do you travel to India often? Can you still smell and taste all the good food? Is Ganesh your best friend?

Vaseem Khan hi Denise, so glad you enjoyed the books. Alas these days I don't get to go to India as much as Id like to. But, as my wife is Indian, and some of my closest friends still live there, I do keep up with the 'Indian news' on a daily basis and all things going on there. I eat Indian food almost every day so no change there. Is Ganesha my best friend? Hmm ... well, let me put it this way - Ganesha is a symbol of the warmth, friendship and love that I received from the many many people I encountered during my ten wonderful years living in India. He reminds me continually that India is vast, mysterious, continually changing, and yet always, at heart, a place of exoticism. And I do love elephants, so long live little Ganesha, I say!
