I would imagine that anyone picking up a book written by me would expect a fast-paced story that requires minimal effort to turn the pages. The reader would also be looking for some out-of-the-ordinary revelations along the way. At the end of the day, I'm a writer who simply loves revealing stuff that is out-of-the-ordinary.

I've always been fascinated by books. When I was young, my grandfather used to hand out a book - which would be anything from a biography to a classic - to me every week and ask me to write a piece on what I thought about it. On the other hand, my mother used to love reading thrillers and bestsellers.

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

What I would not like is to be ignored. I write from the heart. I don't write for me. I write for my readers.

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!'

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

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