Sagittarius
I am at times “a cleanliness freak”, while I love travelling, home is still my favorite place on earth and anyone with a pessimistic approach turns me off completely.
The world turning so virtual that people stop connecting in reality.
Authoring Monsoon Masala
Quite a few… Holding my daughter in my arms for the 1st time, signing my 1st autograph on the cover page of Monsoon Masala, reading my interviews in various newspapers.
My 1st show on air… thanks to my nervousness I sucked and felt so! But over the 12+ years of radio jockeying things became more and more fun and flawless.
My father… hands down

I have been an avid reader from my childhood. While my childhood was full of Enid Blyton, Satyajit Ray, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, TarashankarBandopadhyaya…as I grew up, the works of legends like Rabindranath Tagore, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay fascinated me. I am in complete love with Jeffrey Archer, Sidney Sheldon, John Grisham, R. K. Narayan, Jackie Collins, Daniel Silva, Jhumpa Lahiri, Bikram Seth, Arundhati Roy, Amish Tripathi. Honestly my list is endless…
While I have a long list, top of the mind -Noukadubi, Parineeta, A Suitable Boy, Interpreter of Maladies, Black Widow
Quite a few actually – right from the favourites I have listed
Sound of Music, English Vinglish, Bawarchi, Police Academy series, Balika Vadhu
Being able to multitask flawlessly– attending deliverable calls, playing with my daughter and working on my next writing project simultaneously.
Miracles are just a stone’s throw away… you just need to believe in them.
Adolescent… best time indeed with dreams daring to fly.
Lyrics writing… words do touch the heart.
Interpreter of Maladies
Usually during night, in one corner of my room
Music
Somebody stop me!
Have to visualize what I write
Mills and Boon!
Often I hear the statement that “today almost everyone feels he can write”. While the statement is not motivational, it is true! With the plethora of paperbacks, flurry of publishers, diverse medium options writing got a fresh lease and is bringing out a new generation of writers altogether …people who are gifted with the art of “connecting” but unfortunately who were not writing much and for the larger audience previously. If someone says that quality is getting compromised, my thinking is that readers are not takers of everything that’s comes out. In the flood of paperbacks…people still rate … talk…and with active social networking, the word or should I say, the judgment spreads! And so my 2 cents - don’t give up… write what you believe in… while commercial success is definitely the dessert to crave, personal satisfaction is the hunger you will satiate!! Honestly there is nothing sweeter than leafing through the pages of your own creation. And you never know your belief just might be something people believe in / identify themselves with. After all, one of the famous words of wisdom that stand strong through centuries happen to be “Pen is mightier than sword”!
