I need to meet people to be able to write.

Never judge a man's actions until you know his motives

Just because someone has gone to an elite school and college does not make him smarter than the person who has grown up on street knowledge.

Indian writers have appropriated English as an Indian language, and that gives a certain freshness to the way we write.

I did not go to any creative writing workshop; I did not major in literature. If I can write, anyone can write. All it needs is imagination.

My books may highlight corruption, brutality and venality, but they also show that if these things come to light, there is rectification. The voiceless do have a voice; democratic mechanisms and accountability do exist.

My books are about ordinary people placed in extraordinary situations who are able to draw upon their inner reserves to challenge the status-quo in life and navigate compelling human relationships.
