Looks like the seat of the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs is attracting diplomats of the ‘eclectic’genre. After his predecessor, former MEA spokesperson, Nirupama Rao took to singing, Navtej Sarna has taken to the pen. He recently launched his first fiction venture We Weren’t Lovers Like That, which incidentally is written in a first person narrative. Having penned a few short stories, writing a novel was a natural progression. But quiz him about Nirupama Rao ever being an influence and Sarna terms it as pure coincidence. A coincidence that we would definitely love to see getting repeated more often.
