Some things should better be left unknown.
I don’t wish to die without inking a part of my soul. So, I fear time is running out, and I have a lot to do!
When I can satisfy the soul of my readers, and they write to me saying how much they’ve been they have transformed as a person after reading my books, I think more than all the awards and honours I’ve been bestowed with, that’s the finest achievement for me.
The smile on my parents’ face when I was conferred with the Indo-Canadian Award for my contribution to English Literature.
When I lost the one I was the most attached with, to cancer.
Undoubtedly it has been and will always be my spiritual and creative guru, guide and philosopher for making me the person I am today- My Dad, SAMIR DHAR.

To disappear and watch the world go by.
A misfit romantic soul lies trapped in the arms of seclusion and noise.
A place, that’s far away from the populated land, where only nature mothers me. I haven’t been there yet but I somehow feel connected to New Zealand so maybe I would spend my life there in a small cottage aloof with my thoughts.
To decipher the secret coding between what one says and what one feels deep inside.
The Forty Rules of Love
In my room on my laptop (sometimes I even pen thoughts in my diary) between 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.
Silence is far more musical than music can ever be… provided you’ve the 'ears'.
And death kissed him like a silent lover.
I close my eyes and mediate for a few minutes before I sit down to write. It’s been a ritual since I was four.
Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult
Write to satisfy the hunger of your own soul. Success will follow its route. Remember if at the end of the story you have laughter or tears, the readers are bound to laugh or cry with you.
