His inspiration to write the first book was his late wife, Bhavna.

This tragedy pushed him into depression and he suffered a lot but somehow managed to stay conscious and tried to come out of it.

It is not easy to be an author. There are not many full-time authors in India and what writers earn from writing is almost half of what they make from their jobs, he says. Still, the love of people and appreciation keeps him going.
He believes that his suffering turned him towards writing, pouring thoughts on paper, which never judges is therapeutic.
His recently launched book is ” Everything I never told you.” It is based on the love story of a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl.
