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

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

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

Battles are won and lost before they are fought.

I work in a business environment forty hours a week, and writing is what I do to unwind. It allows me to transport myself to a happy place where I can indulge my hopes, beliefs, aspirations and fantasies. It also allows me to live and breathe a topic for eighteen months while I'm researching and writing.

I believe that patterns tend to repeat themselves and there are connections between the past and the present. There is the old proverb that reads, You cant know where youre going if you dont know where youve been. For me, history is like that. When you take history and combine it with myth, then you get mystery.

Our country has the oldest tradition of storytelling, and this was much before writing stories even became a norm.
