Never wanted to be a writer, never knew I could be one. What was the experience while getting your first book published? I remember my dad spending hours with us, telling stories. My dad used to ask, ‘so, what have you read today?’ and we used to ramble out. The best thing that happened to me was inculcation of reading habit, right from childhood. In literature, Somerset Maugham, Charles Dickens, Tolstoy, Shakespeare are iconic figures. In the Indian space, the profound and yet the simplicity of works delivered by Sri Rajagopalachari and Sri R K Narayan are memorable. Then I started to experiment with genre, both fiction and non-fiction.įortunately readers have accepted both the books, ‘Unusual People Do Things Differently’ and ‘Along the Way’ in equal stride and both have become national best sellers.Īs a writer, whom do you follow or take inspiration from?įrom a management/business perspective writings of Peter Drucker, Micheal Porter, Charles Handy, CK Prahalad, Gary Hamel, Tom Peters, David Maister have influenced me.įrom a fiction point of view, Jeffery Archer, John Grisham, Ken Follett have been influential. I never knew that I could write until one day it all started to happen in a flow. My writing journey has been extremely gratifying.
