I grew up in India, moving between different cities, which gave me a window into the many ways people live and think. Books were always my refuge. I read everything I could get my hands on as a kid, but somewhere along the way, fantasy became my language. There's something about the worlds Tolkien, Martin, and Jordan created that made me understand what I wanted to say.
Living in different parts of India also meant growing up around its philosophies. Not as doctrines to follow, but as ways of seeing the world. I've observed how concepts like dharma and karma shape how people understand their lives and choices. That understanding has quietly found its way into my writing.
Now, from the UK, I'm working on a fantasy series that tries to weave together the epic scope I learned from my literary heroes with the philosophical questions I've carried from my childhood. It's an attempt to tell stories that matter. Stories about choice, consequence, and what it means to forge meaning in a breaking world.
