Afshaan asked Vaseem Khan:

Why do you write about India when you've only spent a fraction of your life here?

Vaseem Khan Hi Afshaan,

I am now 42. i went to India aged 23 and returned 10 years later - so I actually spent a decade in India during my most impressionable adult years which is quite a long time. The reason I write about India is because those were the best years of my life. I fell in love with the country, the people and the city of Mumbai. My life there is fondly remembered each and every day - my wife is actually a Mumbaiker who has moved to the UK with me. All my old friends from India are in touch with me on various social media groups - so in many ways it feels like I have never left. As a writer I wanted to explore those wonderful memories; I also knew that there were many people in the west who might like to know what modern India is like and so I decided to take them on this journey with me via my books.
Hope that answers your question. Warm regards, Vaseem
