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!'

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

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.

A book and a movie are different animals. You need a cinematic perspective to be involved in the motion pictures. And this is something I lack.

I want to make sure that my writing grips the reader from the word 'go.'

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.

When working on a period, it is the finer details that evoke imagery that helps in cinematic adaptations.
