The day I wake up and no one recognizes me
Writing my first novel – it is important because I am not a born writer. A writer is someone who is blessed with keen observation skills, blessed with good English and an ability weave both the things together
Getting through to IIM Ahmedabad amidst a background of my father battling with cancer. He was going in and out of hospitals – which was physically, mentally and emotionally draining
Losing my father and that too on the second day at IIM Ahmedabad. I was all of 24 years of age. He was my biggest supporter in life; backed me on anything I wanted to do. Without him, life seemed so much hard.
I admire everyone I meet; each person has their own story and strengths. But if I have to choose one person, it has to be Khalid Hosseini. His books have inspired me to become a writer.
I was a bad reader during my childhood days – maybe read a couple of books an year. So, I don’t have any childhood heroes. As I grew up, I realized that the thought counts more than the person. So, I generally tend to pay less heed to names and places and focus more on thoughts and plots. It’s funny but you won’t believe that I don’t remember names of any characters in the books I have read so far.
There are no villians in life or in fiction. Villians are created by authors as they write from the perspective of the hero. If the story of villians would be told, heroes might be painted negatively

I don’t think that my literary urges have been satisfied to a point wherein I would like to go back to a book again. I still have gathered a few drops from the ocean of books and want to grow my share of it

He died a curious man! The thirst never ceased to exist

Write your story and not what your audience would like to read; but choose words which your audience would like and not what you like!
‘Passion is elixir for the soul’ - this is Capri’s mantra for a happy & fulfilling life. He lives this every day, in everything he does. He developed a passion for writing and plunged fearlessly into it. This book bears the hallmark of his commitment to his passion.
Human behaviours have always intrigued him. He believes that we are a product of both our circumstances and our choices. Whilst circumstances are often outside our control, how we react to them is very much a conscious and voluntary action. And that ultimately shapes not just us but also our relationships. Our choices and decisions define the role we play in the lives of everyone around us. Sometimes, small gestures can make a big difference. It is this thought which he has tried to encapsulate and portray in his first novel.
Capri is from Chandigarh and has studied Management at IIM Ahmedabad. He has worked for over 13 years in reputed organizations like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Strategic Management Group, Fortis Healthcare and KIMS, across India and the Middle East, before he decided to pen his first novel.
Capri is also an avid numismatist with a collection of over 1000 coins from 100+ countries.
