I really enjoyed reading your book. Do you plan to write more mythological fiction? If yes, who would be your protagonist?

Thank you so much Sonia. Currently am writing 3 novellas based on the medical world.
Mythology is actually History. If one deletes the ornate costumes & language, what we get is a timeless cauldron of human emotions - and those never go out of fashion.
I do need to admire, if not love my protagonist. So if at all, it would be Abhimanyu or Draupadi's sons who didn't really get their due in terms of a long life. It was a short sparkling life, but there were no deep struggles, angst, or scope to commit either sins or astounding feats. It would be interesting to weave a story around their interactions and powerplay.

In your book Arjun- Without a Doubt, you did not have to imagine a new story or plot twist. Yet, Arjun couldn't have been an easy book to write. Trying to give new shades to an epic whose colors are already well-embedded in our hearts is not an easy thing. What was the hardest part of developing the story of Arjun? What gave you the courage and inspiration to try such a thing?
