YGA becomes a bestseller

In a strong testimony to the popularity of this blog, Yashwantrao gele Americela (Hindi title - Yashwantrao gaye Amrika) has found a place in the Book Channel's "One billion things to read before you die" guide. According to their website, the list was created after asking everyone on the planet for their vote. Yash's book was nominated by him, his parents and two of his room-mates. The researchers involved were surprised by the high number of blogs that found a place on the list, 99% of this one nominated by one person or less. In a shocking turn of events, one of the most popular literary figures of all time, William Shakespeare found none of his books on the list.

In an unrelated story, Wikipedia reports that none of the Bard's relatives are alive today.
