Blurb:

Six hundred years ago, humanity rose up in revolt against the Aeriels. They were driven from earth — and back to their homeworld — after a bloody and glorious war.

Eight years ago, Ruban’s home was destroyed and his family murdered by an Aeriel.

When a new Aeriel threat looms over Ragah, the capital city of Vandram, Ruban Kinoh must do everything in his power to avenge his family's past and protect the future of his country.

Which is hard enough without being saddled with a pretty and pompous aristocrat, who seems as useless as he is vain.

Faced with a conspiracy that might cost humanity its hard-won freedom, and accompanied by the bejeweled and glitter-clad Ashwin Kwan, Ruban begins his journey into a land where the past and the future intertwine.

How to Deal with Rejection and Setback?

Yesterday, I was rejected by a prospective freelance client.

Today, one of the platforms I use to promote my books – and interact with readers – changed its policies. This will force me to drastically change my book marketing plans for the year, and I’m still not sure how it will all work out.

Did it hurt?

Well, my first instinct is to say – Nope. I don’t care about a rejection. In my 5+ years of freelancing (and working full-time), I’ve faced hundreds of them. What’s one more to the pile?

Systemic Discrimination and Nepotism: Are We Victims or Perpetrators?

Photo by Micheile Henderson on Unsplash
The recent suicide of the famous Indian film star, Sushant Singh Rajput, has triggered a massive online debate about nepotism in Bollywood, the biggest (though far from the only) film industry in the country.
Since the late SSR did not leave behind a suicide note, I don’t presume to know the reason behind his actions. But the national outcry against Bollywood nepotism had been – for many years – a time bomb waiting to go off.
And now it has.
So here’s the pro...

Why the Nation is Not United, and Why that is a Good Thing

Boxes. We've demonized them a lot in recent years. And unfairly so, in my opinion.
Nowadays, it's all about thinking outside the box, living outside the box, burning the goddamn box, if at all possible.
But there's nothing wrong with boxes, is there? In fact, they're quite essential. They help us store stuff we don't always use but might occasionally need, label them so they're easy to find when needed, and keep them safe.
The problem arises when we've...

What Motivates Me to Write?

Currently in the process of editing my first Sci-Fi novel, I’ve been knee-deep in random scientific blogs and trivia for a couple of months. And although my own story leans more towards political biopunk than psycho robotics, one of the topics that immediately grabbed my interest as I was doing my research was artificial intelligence (AI), and the ways in which it can affect the future of humanity.When we think about AI going wrong, we usually imagine megalomaniac supercomputers with a God co...

Expectation, Aspiration, and the Meaning of Success

I’ve been thinking a lot about success, lately. About what it means to be successful, or to fail. Is there really such a thing as objective success or objective failure, or is the experience of success and failure inherently subjective?
I mean, there are some people whose names immediately come to mind when we talk about success. The rockstars, the famous actors, and the tech billionaires who seem to be making millions on their way out of the womb, for example.
Likewise, there are t...

Poetry: Populist Prejudice ��� Politics in the Land of Automation

Image Source
What���s an ideologue without an ideology?The populist messiah of a jobless democracy.

The man of the people rages against the corrupt elite,

We���ll march against foreigners, ���cause we can���t lynch machines.

They hate us, we hate them, there���s not much else to do;

When the employment exchange closes shop, ���cause employers are too few.

He can���t offer jobs, but at least he���s found us a cause,

Policy drowns in a sinking economy, sentiment swims on fiery applause.

A dictator in the...
