Writing was my route to creative expression, and I needed to write about the things that interested me.

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

I believe that every writer evolves with every successive novel. I view myself as work-in-progress.

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!'

I am a part of the old school where I feel that purity of the language should be retained. But English is a constantly evolving language where new words are being added to the dictionary, so I don't see any harm in experimenting with the language. Only poor editing standards need to be improved.

There has to be a protagonist who has to overcome challenges, and there will be a race to finish.

Vish, the creator; and Shiv, the destroyer, are simply two faces of the very same coin.
