The nth draft of my yet untitled novel. I finished the first draft of the novel even before commencing writing 'A Slice Of Life: Every Person Has A Story.' But decided to come out with the latter first.

I would like to enter the world of William Warwick, the likable protagonist of Jeffrey Archer's latest chronicle and accompany him in his journey. Perhaps I would be able to decipher a little bit of the writer's mind of my favourite author Jeffrey Archer.

I take inspiration from real life. Truth is stranger than fiction, and the more you observe people and things around you, the more stories you will get to narrate. The characters in all my stories are real people in a fictional setting, and that is why they are relatable. To give you an example, the inspiration for ‘Parched’- one of the stories in my book, came from the dried-up Basil plant on my terrace.
