It’s that time again—I’ve finally completed my fourth novel, Deceptive Shadows, and it is now in the process of being published. Though it took longer than I had anticipated, every moment has been worth the effort.

As an avid reader, I believe that everyone shares a love for books. It’s this belief that fuels my desire to contribute to the vast literary universe—adding another voice, another story, and perhaps, enhancing its ever-growing décor.

Writing is more than a creative outlet for me; it is a form of transcendence. Each time I write, I am transported to a world entirely of my own making. It is a world where I am omnipotent, where characters take shape under my guidance, and where their destinies unfold as I choose. With every word, I build a universe that is mine to control, yet one I constantly discover.

I delight in the delicate balance of revelation and concealment—offering readers tantalizing glimpses of my characters while carefully unveiling their truths over time. It is this slow unwrapping that I believe keeps the reader’s curiosity and engagement alive.

This parallel world of fiction, constructed with my thoughts and beliefs, brings me immense joy. It lifts me beyond the mundane into realms of adventure, excitement, and mystery—my favourite emotional spaces. Inspired by the Navarasas, the nine emotions of classical Indian aesthetics, I strive to infuse my work with as many of them as possible, enriching the tapestry of my storytelling.

Deceptive Shadows is a gripping tale of suspense that delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche and the enduring mysteries of life and death.
