It took me more than 6 years to piece together my ideas in the form of a single story. Despite evolution, people seem to have retained their basic tenets of behavior. Their need for power and hierarchy marks out human beings. I started with a general idea and then filtered down to few points. The idea crystallized over a period of time. If one needs inspiration, just look around.

It takes strong convictions to be able to complete a book. I am inspired by human stories-something that happens on a day-to-day basis. Media is full of stories that bring out human nature. These tend to affect people in different ways. To be able to bring out my analysis of the human mind and its dark niches were indeed a strong inspiration.

Writing can be exhausting but is a fulfilling experience. It is important for writers to be persistent in their efforts. There is no motivation like self-motivation!

A writer gets to express deepest feeling through stories. I believe in the saying that 'what comes out of a book is thoughts, not words'. Writing can indeed be a cathartic process.
