I would like to introduce myself, hoping to connect with like-minded peers and cultivate relationships with them so as to advance our career. I am an author (Self-Published) who writes fantasy, horror and mythology, with a deep interest in historical period drama and science-fiction. I write both novels and screenplays.

My hobbies include reading, writing, playing chess and billiards, and watching TV Shows...I am an addict, you can say. What do I not watch? He he. Anyway, I hope to make contacts with those who wish to pursue screenwriting as well as novel writing.

I am also a freelance ghostwriter and a copy-editor.

Review: Beyhadh

How many of us can claim to be a television addict? I think many. And of course, I am included.

Personally, I do prefer television as an effective medium for storytelling over movies, apart from books that is. I am a huge fan of episodic content — good episodic content that makes sense.

The last decade and a half of this decade have been spent in me critiquing Indian television for lack of original
