I'm OP, just remembered my username.

Replying to my own comment to give Indian fiction recommendations:

Written in English:

Aatish Taseer (but not Temple Goers, read the other ones)
Shamsur Rahman Faruqi- ( the Mirror of Beauty: a really long sprawling epic. He's a baller who wrote this in urdu and did his own translations into Hindi and English)
Vikram Seth (warning, long)
Amitav Ghosh (Ibis Trilogy, Hungry Tide)
Manju Kumar
Siddharth Dhavanth Sanghvi
Anita Desai
Bharati Mukherjee
Rabindranath Tagore (old, but good)

Written in other languages, but good translations should be available:
Sadaat Hassan Manto (Bombay stories)- he also ended up being Pakistani after partition
Ismat Chughtai
KR Meera
Mahadevi Varma (kind of dated, but good)

Mine is when I got all kinds of loving support in an open thread about a shitty dude situation involving sex; my therapist was on vacation and my best friends are too inexperienced about dating and getting physical, to want to hear and commiserate. The commentriat cheered me right up <3
