Two Dosas

by Nikesh Shukla

Anne is perfect. Beautiful, into cool, obscure bands, effortlessly sexy in her Converses… and, well, white (you get double points for snogging a white girl). But on their first date, our unlikely hero breaks all the rules and takes her to a secret dosa house, a place that only Asians know about. A story from Costa-shortlisted poet and writer Nikesh Shukla about identity, Secret India in the heart of Camden, and how the perfect date can backfire.
