During 2011 July, while he was fresh into second year of Engineering, he was interested in writing a full length novel. He peeped into the “Creative writing” syllabuses of various world class universities, hunted the study materials worldwide, read all of them, taught himself the hypnotising techniques and globally acceptable grammar, started writing a novel once he was convinced that he’s “capable to write.” By the time he was convinced, it was January 2013.

As a result of 240 day research and 75 day writing, “Guild Hostilities” was born. And, CR Barath Narayanan was convinced as he felt that his work was worthy enough to be published…
