Why do I write:
There can't be anything more interesting and fantasizing than the stories of Indian mythology. The influence of Indian mythology and philosophy during my childhood had encouraged me to find out the scientific basis for the ancient Indian folklore. My writing evidently uses the background of Indian vedic texts to justify the plots in my books. I try to find genuine reasoning behind the happenings of the past and try to portray the same through my writing. Nothing can be more blissful than able to pen down your views.

Writing routine:
Anything in this world can be accomplished by sheer discipline. Writing a book is one such thing. I daily dedicate half an hour to one hour for writing. My target is to complete atleast 10 pages of writing per day. Two to three hours of research and plot planning on a weekend helps me continue my routine of writing throughout the week.

Process:
Writing is just like dreaming for me. Suddenly an idea strikes one day and then you can't rest till you had woven a plot around it. It takes days and sometimes weeks together to sketch a rough plot around the central idea. Sometimes,I need to stretch my imagination,sometimes the old mythological stories help me create characters and sequences in the plot. Mostly, I use the name of people around me as the names of the characters in my book. Attaching a name of a known person with the character also helps in defining the personality of the character. Infact it is real fun to imagine how your friend would behave in a certain situation and make a plot accordingly. Sometimes you yourself become a character in your book and live all the fantasies that you can't live in real life. Many a times I feel like the almighty is writing through my hands when the plot turns out to be completely different than what I had originally planned. I accepted such changes as His will.

Inspiration:
I personally believe that each and every event described in great Indian epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana can be explained scientifically and logically if we ask proper questions and try to find appropriate answers. The immense quest to find meaningful logic in the events mentioned in mythological texts form the topmost source of inspiration for me.

Message to aspiring authors:
One may think it's tough to write a story but believe me, it is simpler than one thinks. After writing my first book,I have come to believe that things happen only when you try. So the first step of writing is to actually sit and write. Write whatever comes to your mind and don't stop just because ideas are not flowing. Believe me, after a certain time, everything that you have written shall start making sense. Your creation itself will start guiding you towards its completion. Ultimately, it boils down to one statement - Luck favours the brave and disciplined. Be brave enough to attempt your hand at writing and then be disciplined enough to keep writing regularly. One day, you would be an author of a book you never imagined you would ever write. ...more
