Yesterday, October 2, the nation celebrated Gandhi Jayanthi, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

In December 2010, my debut novel, ” It Can’t Be You” was published. A friend of mine who is a highly decorated retired Service officer with an impeccable reputation told me that I shouldn’t have portrayed Col. Belliappa in my story as a psychopath. He said psychopaths aren’t allowed to continue in the Indian Army. I said it depends on what you mean by the term psychopath.

There could well be some part of the psychopath in me and in you as well, if you go by my understanding of the term.
Recently, more than two years after the book was published, I received a mail from the same friend Continue reading “Remember Col. Belliappa?”

Terms and conditions as also the prices do vary, but this may be useful to readers:- Continue reading “Ordering My Books”
