An Indian author based in Mumbai. Husband to Bithika, father to Yashka & Ayush, care-giver to Willow. I read a lot, write a little. I'm neither religious nor spiritual. I believe that peace and non-violence are the only way - along with love and books! Over 1 million copies in print worldwide. Stick around, sip chai, talk to me. Don't look for a bio here, there isn't one! PS: I am not on any social net - Facebook, Orkut, Twitter, Goodreads, etc - nor on the comments section of websites and forums. I only post here on my own blog. Waiting eagerly for my Mba and other books? Visit the Request A Book page. Next:SLAYER OF KAMSA: Book 1 of The Krishna Coriolis in September!
