M. H. Rahman

Capricorn

a. Actress Priyanka Chopra and I were born in the same hospital back in Jamshedpur b. Coffee, Stories and Media are my lifeline c. I love my failures as much as I cherish my successes in life

I am petrified of falling from great heights- both literally and metaphorically

I don’t know about my achievements but I feel my readers are my greatest treasure.

There are so many of them but if I have to name one it has to be Christopher Nolan, the filmmaker.

I am a superhero story-buff. Batman is my favorite superhero.

It has to be the Joker from the Dark Knight trilogy.

Dan Brown, Sidney Sheldon, Jeffrey Archer… the list is endless

The Da Vinci Code, The fault in our stars, If tomorrow comes, How to win friends and influence people, and my own book, HALF LIFE 

How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. It’s a great self-help book.

There are so many of them. The Dark Knight trilogy, Harry Potter series, Divergent series and in Bollywood, Kapoor and Sons and A Wednesday.

If I could do magic and spells like Harry Potter

My epitaph would read: MH Rahman He truly lived. Are you?

Childhood in Mumbai (India), adolescence in NYC (USA), adulthood in LA (USA) and silver years in Switzerland.

Film-making like Christopher Nolan does it.

I guess Harry Potter. That was the story that made me wanna be a writer.

I like to write at night in the comfort of my own bedroom.

I am ambivert. So there are times when I love silence and there are days I prefer music.

Writers have so many worlds hidden within them.

I don’t have any ritual but I am big on opening scenes/chapters of my stories. I take great care in making them as powerful as I possibly can.

I love reading fast-paced thrillers which are a constant page-turner. Now, you know where does my influence of stories come from?!

I’d say what one of my author friends from America said to me when I was beginning, write a story the way you want to hear one.
