I want my writing to reach people. I don't write for a market. I write from my heart, something that appeals to me. The marketing, segmenting etc., can be done by your publisher, not you.

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

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

The Divine is simply that which science has not yet explained. In effect, God = Infinity - Human Knowledge.

I like to joke that I probably hold the world record for rejection letters. Yes, the truth is that I was fed up of being rejected repeatedly, and self-publicatio n was an act of defiance at traditional publishing. But life works in strange ways.

I was a businessman for 16 years of my life, so when I started writing, I wanted to keep my literary identity separate.

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.
