Scorpio
There are many and I would like to keep it that way, a secret.
I don’t like confined spaces.
When I published my first book.
My first solo trip to Nepal during 2002 was probably my first high. I was out in search of myself, and the divine mountains helped me.
There was a brief period when one of my ventures did not work as I had expected, and I had to shut down its operations.
Mr Ratan Tata. ‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’ is the right phrase to describe him.
Iron Man because he is a Genius, a Billionaire, a Playboy and a Philanthropist. :-)
The Night King from Game of Thrones. He is a real fantasy villain and could make the greatest of heroes shiver. (Not from the web series though and definitely not from season 8)
R K Narayan, Amitav Ghosh, J R R Tolkien, J K Rowling, Jhumpa Lahiri
The Guide, IBIS Trilogy, Shiva Trilogy, Sapiens, The Book Thief
I would love to read the Harry Potter series. I never get tired of the adventures, and there is a new revelation every time I read it.
Lord of the Rings, Shawshank Redemption, 1917, Lagaan, Lakshya
I would probably like to be a Shapeshifter and posses powers like ‘Mystique’ from the X-Men series.
#BEaTRAVELLER
Childhood and Adolescent – 400 CE, during the Gupta empire and be part of a period that is known as the golden age of India. I would grow up and move to Nalanda and begin my learning journey at its famous university. Adult life – Early 1900’s Bengal and actively participate in the freedom struggle. Silver Years – 1100 CE at Kalinga and relive that glorious era when the Lord Jagannath temple and Konark sun temple were just constructed.
I would wish to be an Indian Polyglot.
Lord of the rings written by J R R Tolkien
I can write anytime and anywhere, but it is mostly guided by the state of my mind.

‘Good Girls’ for my pets.
I do not have such a thing like ritual or superstition. I make it a point to write every day.
I guess ‘Mills and Boon’ as these were my first set of books I read early during my school days.
One needs to read a variety of works and keep writing every day.
I am an Author by choice and a marketing executive by profession. I have a degree in management from Maastricht School of Management, Netherlands and hold a certification in Social Media Marketing. I was born in Balasore, a quaint town in Odisha and was raised up in Bhubaneswar. I currently reside in Hyderabad with my wife Nidra and two pet daughters (Nilu & Peppy).
I guess I am like most of us around, mired in quotidian details. I try to live a simple life while appreciating the creations of mother nature and empathising with the other living creatures around. I travel a lot, explore cultures, meet many exciting people and try to live positively. Travelling in a way helps me see this world differently and keeps me young, whereas writing keeps my mind active.
