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

I am neither a Bengali nor am I from Delhi's St Stephen's. I am an Allahabad boy.

...a rainy day ceases to have meaning for a person who has lived in the open under a monsoon cloud most of his life.

People don't just want a mindless flick with a superstar; they want to connect more deeply.

I am the luckiest novelist in the world. I was a first-time novelist who wasn't awash in rejection slips, whose manuscript didn't disappear in slush piles. I have had a wonderful time.

I need to meet people to be able to 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.
