QDescribe your favourite writing space?
It’s not about the space; it’s basically about the mood. I can write in a coffee shop, a train, at home or any other place for that matter.QDo you have a writing schedule?
No schedule. I just can’t follow them! I need a cheerful and a fresh frame of mind to write.QEver struggled with writer’s block?
Yes, of course. I wrote 70 per cent of my book in the first two months, but it took me another six to eight months to finish it off.QWhat inspires you to write? Do you have a secret trick, or a book/author that helps?
My wife’s faith in me is my inspiration. There is no extraordinary trick. The plot of the novel keeps on revolving in my mind 24×7 and whenever a good thought strikes me, I note it down. You can still find some drafts in my cellphone.QCoffee/tea/cigarettes — numbers please — while you are writing?
I don’t smoke or drink tea. But a good cold coffee triggers me.QWhich books are you reading at present?

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
