Goodreads asked Asad Ali Junaid:

How do you get inspired to write?

Asad Ali Junaid My mom developed in me a habit to read and appreciate good English writing. She made sure that there was always something I could read at home. It started out with Tinkle and Amar Chitra Katha, went on to Reader’s Digest and Young Adult novels like Hardy Boys, (and eventually to the Sidney Sheldons and Jeffrey Archers). With my Mom’s guidance, I won prizes in school for writing – and they were the only prizes that I won in school. My love for the English language and writing stuck with me through Engineering and Grad School and what you see in the book is the result of this illicit love affair (as defined by my wife) with English and writing.
