Goodreads asked Soutam Banerjee:

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

Soutam Banerjee I have grown up hearing that truths are stranger than fiction. While my entire adolescence was all about experimenting with things like litmus papers and different gases, finally decided to experiment with this age-old say.
Yes; as you must have already guessed, this book is 60% inspired by my own life, 25% from my friends, relatives, relatives of friends, friends of relatives, that-interesting-couple-I-saw-on-the-road-that-day, that-tinder-match-who-told-me-about-her-life-story: all these people taken together and the rest 15% is from our evergreen Bollywood movies.
