Speed-reading (with assimilation).

None.

When and where do you write ?

I write in my working room, usually during the first half of the day, ranging from early morning to lunchtime.

Silence or music?

If it’s early in the morning and the city is quiet, silence is suitable. When the day has picked up, I find a really low volume ambient sound/music useful to create a zone. Once in a blue moon I use music to write out some passage.

One phrase that you use most often?

Fair enough.

Do you have a writing ritual / superstition?

No.

What’s your guilty reading pleasure?

I sometimes read online forums of various sorts and the comment sections of videos, where opinions can get quite colourful.

Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?

Writing is a skill, like playing a sport or instrument, and improves with practice; so do it somewhat daily, and put a few hundred thousand words down as training at first.

Abhih Singh was born in 1984, at a Naval base in Cochin. He spent his early childhood in Port Blair
wandering beaches and woods, went to a Jesuit boys’ school in South Bombay, and attended university
in Australia, attaining degrees in Liberal Arts and International Relations. His work experiences have
been varied, ranging from office sorts to disc jockeying and handling produce. Over recent years he’s
lived in Bangalore, in a building teeming with environmentalists, designers, filmmakers, lawyers, and
other workers, with strong political opinions across the spectrum; and in an old Goan house, amidst
snakes, dogs, and disappearing cats – writing stories and producing music all the while. He is currently
based in Pune.
