It may sound very strange, but I love the freedom that writing a novel gives me. It is an unhindered experience. If I come after a bad day, I can decide that my protagonist will die on page 100 of my novel in a 350-page story.

A book and a movie are different animals. You need a cinematic perspective to be involved in the motion pictures. And this is something I lack.

Oral storytelling goes back so long ago, and those stories that were told orally were always layered and changed with time.

Mythology works... because Indians have been bred on myths.

Admiration from my readers inspire me, and the only 'formula' I believe in towards making a good writer is: 'to thine own self be true!'

We don't need to dumb down our stuff. And it's important to know how far we can push readers.

I want to be remembered as a storyteller more than someone who had something meaningful to say.
