Goodreads asked Vincent Varghese:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Vincent Varghese It was an idea i had about 11 years ago about the lives of 5 individuals who end up working in the same company - their journeys, their emotions, their challenges, fears, angst and suffering. I didn't get the courage to publish because i feared "what others might think" and "what if i'm criticized and hated". It took me a long while to finally get the courage to write. The horrifying rape and eventual death of a young girl on a bus in a big metropolitan city in India was the catalyst that gave me the impetus to write this book - "New Hunters at Imperial Guest House"
