If I could read others' minds.
I wrote. I was.
Childhood in Kolkata. Adolescent in Ludhiana. Adult life in New York. Silver Years in Goa.
To play the saxophone.

I write my novel, late evening in my son's study. Poetry I write at night lying on my stomach in my bed.
Silence
What you need to understand...
I edit the last day's writing, write more than a page and then check the word count.
Reading my son's story books.
Read a lot everyday and have a daily writing schedule.
Vineet Singh, 41, was fascinated with the written word since his childhood in Kolkata. In school, he won accolades for writing skits, plays and acting in them. While undergoing his undergraduate studies at Frostburg State University in America he took to writing poetry and essays and avidly pursued it even when he returned to India for graduate school at S.P.Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai. After his academic endeavours he chose a career in Corporate India and though he tasted success in the business arena for the next three years and travelled exhaustively, he sorely missed his writing. He quit his job, became the Director of a High School and started writing vigorously. After a dozen short stories and a film script, he started work on his first novel based on the theme of displacement across generations. Presently, he is working on his second novel on unrequited love. He is married, has a ten-year-old son and lives with his family in Kolkata, India. vschhabra@hotmail.com
