A nice Interview in Youth Diaries

She said "All I want is to be happy." 
"And what would make you really happy?" I asked.

On writing and getting published

So, these days I face a peculiar predicament.
I seem to be in the news a lot. 'The Hindu' carried an interview with me, there were mentions about my third book in 'The Indian Express', New Indian Express as well as India Today. (see slide show) And in the Hindustan Times today, two of my books are in the Top 10, as per the Nielsen scan.




So where is the predicament? It's all good,
