I’m one of those lucky guys making a living out of something I really enjoy doing. That’s a blessing. But you never know. What if my subsequent book series flops? I don’t come from a wealthy background, so I’d be left with no choice. I’d have to go back into banking! Picture Quote #1

Since I don’t come from a privileged background, I couldn’t afford to be irresponsible with career decisions. I wrote two books alongside my job and resigned only when I realised I can make a living Picture Quote #1

In the early 90s, I was disillusioned after the blasts and riots in Mumbai. I was in college and started thinking that religion was the root cause of all these evils.

I think it’s a fallacy to say that a good book sells itself. It doesn’t happen. I’m a voracious reader and I can give you a long list of books which should have been best sellers but they aren’t. How can you buy a book if you haven’t heard of it? Picture Quote #1

I loved history in my school days, and I have always been a voracious reader. But in India, you end up doing MBA, engineering or medicine Picture Quote #1

I turned atheist in the 90s when India went through troubled times - communal riots, bomb blasts... Mumbai, where I live, was badly affected. I blamed religion; also, extremists on both sides - right and left Picture Quote #1

The key question isn’t ‘What is Evil?’ The key question is ‘When does the Good become Evil? Picture Quote #1
