Update on Kaavya Viswanathan
Came across another interesting interview with our precious plagiarist, which you can find here. Only reasons why I find it amusing are that she seems to be a spoiled brat (a la Priya and Divya) and she seems like she already knew she plagiarized from other authors and was planning her defense:
---------------
How do you plan to get wild with that grand book advance you bagged?
Kaavya: I did seriously entertain the idea of spending all my money on a bright red Maserati.
Is this inspired by Bridget Jones' Diary?
Kaavya: Not consciously. The books aren't similar, except for their categorisation as chick-lit.
-------------
Also, I have a feeling she would have also answered this question like this....haha
"Are you going to be a one-book wonder?
Kaavya: I hope not. I plan to continue writing throughout my life so you'll definitely be seeing at least one more book from me....it will be about Da Vinci, and his code.
--------------
I'll be writing some new shit soon, so keep checking back.
Holla

this girl is screwed for life, but whatever, she fucked up pretty bad. indian parents push their kids too hard and this girl fell victim to a lot of the problems that indian teens have to deal with. this whole situation also doesn't help the "money hungry" stereotype associated with indians, but as with most things, people will forget about this whole thing in a few days. im surprised the media still talks about the duke lacrosse thing, because that's getting to be old news.
