It is said that speech as a form of communication is about 50,000 years old and writing, about 10,000 years. But thinking is probably as old as mankind.

Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog

We often hear that talent is inborn. I have seen people with such inborn talents. However, I belong to that school of thought, where we can achieve what we want, with dedication and practice. I wasn’t born with any special talent or flair for writing. But I discovered writing as a means of self-expression, and putting ‘thoughts’ into ‘words’ gives me immense self-satisfaction.

The novel True Love is a fiction but was inspired by a real incident and was conceptualized to suit the medium of expression. It took me a few years to complete the novel [24 chapters and about 350 pages] despite a self-imposed target of atleast an hour before the PC everyday. My obsession with True Love, knew no limits, as I ended up writing anywhere, whenever I was free which included taxis, flights, trains, hotel rooms and lobbies and airports. I am glad to have received wide spread acclaim from the readers of manuscript, which according to many has potential for other commercial applications, other than just publishing.  I hope their wishes come true.

Voyage of Discovery, on which the work is on, is a major novel. It is a story of a woman in search of solitude and deals with complex issues in the background of various religious philosophies.

My Kannada poems were written inspired by an affectionate chiding of an eminent writer. He couldn’t digest that I had not even attempted to write in kannada - my mother tongue, where as by then I had almost completed the novel True Love and few English poems. The poems ‘Namma Preethi’ and ‘Cheluve’ in Kannada were written in this background. ‘Namma Preethi’ now part of an album has won the hearts of all listeners. Click Here to download the song - 'Namma Preeti'  from the album "Hrudayadinda".

‘Dubai Diary’ in Kannada, was again written heeding to an affectionate advice by an eminent films and teleserials director.

If eventually, I achieve anything in kannada, the credit goes to these two people for having given me the confidence and encouragement.
