Capricorn
I never wanted to be a writer, but there was nothing else that I was good at. I've worked in 5 star hotels, in fast food outlets, as a salesman, as PR agent, as a servicing executive in ad agencies, as a copywriter, as a share trader. Now I want to be a professional traveler, but there's no such thing. I don't think there are many people in India, maybe even the world who have read, watched, heard more stories than me. Stories in my mind are constantly fighting with each other to get my attention.
Getting eaten alive by a python, followed by eating a python that has eaten someone else alive (I'm a vegetarian, you see).

Success or failure, nothing is permanent (other than hair-fall).

Based in Mumbai, but living in a world made up of his fictional fantasies, Rohit has been addicted to consuming stories of all kinds and trying to create some of his own as a sort of payback. He has previously published a short story called ‘How I Murdered Myself’ which received positive reviews on Amazon from international and Indian reviewers alike.
