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

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.

My attention span is very limited, and I watch just one or two movies a year.

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

O Rakshas, everything is always all right in the end. If it isn't all right, then it isn't the end

I don't care if my books don't sell abroad; we have a large enough market in our country. I write for Indian readers.

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.
