Over one year of staying as a single dad in California with my 8 year old son and later my 4+ month long cross country US travel during which time I stayed with variety of American families. That experience introduced me variety of characters I have painted in this book.

By connecting the dots between people, their motivations and characters. What you create as a result with little tweaks to the real world is amazing imaginary world where anything is possible!

Multiple projects. There is one set of short stories from lives of amazing people I meet during my global travel using AirBnB. Then there is a thriller in the making along with some drama. I wish I can clone myself to be able to work on all those projects or partner with more writers as a team to go through it all together.

Everyone of us have an amazing story. No one writes all polished/edited story to begin with. All of it usually comes as raw thoughts. It happens typically for me at 430am through 6am. That early-morning rush of thoughts, ideas and emotions feels like my experience of scuba diving. All
the thoughts residing in the depths of my subconscious mind rise up, swirl around and press against me like a swarm of sardines. They were iridescent, mind-altering and deep!
Forgetting or getting rudely separated from those thoughts by
the demands of the day was painful, like ignoring a close friend
visiting you. So if you are spending sleepless nights, do consider giving writing a shot. It may be best use of sleepless nights and how you heal your busy mind in the process. Best wishes!

You can play GOD and create an imaginary world in your reflection with your own set of characters, situations and perceptions. That is powerful and immensely satisfying.

I write to forget and hence I don't forget to write. Writing is a cathartic experience and much needed dose of happiness everyday. So I imagine happy state after writing to deal with writer's block.
