If there is one city apart from Mumbai where I would love to settle down, it has to be Chennai.

The reality of the writer's world is that you set yourself up for future disappointment with every success that you deliver because you end up raising your audience's expectations.

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.

Battles are won and lost before they are fought.

I was learning book-keeping at the age of 12, but it never stopped me from pursuing literature. Over the years, I grew to love the written word.

After writing each novel, I would spend days poring over suggestions from my editor.

I want to be remembered as a storyteller more than someone who had something meaningful to say.
