BFB - So we are
meeting again, we are very happy and excited.
Author - Thanks a
lot. I am equally excited and very happy to see you again. You guys have been a
great support since day one of my writing journey.
BFB - Tell us
something about your book “Lord of Darkness” first.
Author - Sure, I
will rather share the synopsis of the book first.
Arpita, a
studious, grade seeking student from Pune university, finds it really hard to
get a replacement for her old hard disk under a thousand bucks. But, when she
finally finds a second-hand disk through the help of her friend, Shipra, she
couldn't help but notice that things in her life are no more as they used to
be- the horrifying death of Anwar, the one who installed the disk, the
presence of a mysterious, password protected folder in that disk, named
‘Billycan hill’, and a presentation that vaguely mentions a location where one
can travel through past and future. After numerous efforts, they finally locate
this bizarre spot and decide to visit Moghal Empire to sell a few electronic items to these ancient people to make some
money. But, Dobler, an ardent follower of Satan, bullies them to change their
plans at the last moment. Finally, Arpita and her chaps end up in the Satanic
era near the ‘Church of Satan’ in the pursuit of the mighty Ring of
Beelzebub, and this is where the deadly game of lust and power begins.
This book
took the final shape after I met a lot of black magic practitioners. It is not
just a book; it is a life I have lived.
BFB - Sounds
interesting! If you were so influenced with the art of Black Magic, why you
decided to write about Krishna?
Author - Where there
is good, there must be something to compare with to complete the cycle of
antonyms and that’s when we say bad also exist. If there is no darkness, no one
will wait for the sunrise. Both are equally powerful components and after
darkness what better than writing about Krishna?
BFB - What is the
storyline of your fifth novel, “In Krishna’s courtroom: After Death?”
Author - This is
your story, my story and story of any other common man.
Kama is a
young man – a professional who does not believe in God, and on the contrary –
he tills towards Satanic rituals and because they provide him immediate relief and
satisfaction. One fine day, he is bewildered to find himself in an unusual
place, it is Judgement Day for him. He is wondering if he will be sentenced to
Heaven or Hell. However matters takes an unusual turn and he finds himself in
the Courtroom of Lord Krishna, with whom his case rests.
The Lord is
in a quandary because he does not know how to administer justice in this case.
What
follows in this book is a dialogue between Lord Krishna, the sages and Kama.

BFB - You wrote
about Krishna and you spoke about bringing light after darkness, but you are
talking about death and life after death in your Krishna’s book. How can it be
full of light if the baseline of the book is Death itself?
Author - Don’t be
judgmental. Your blog have reviewed the book before this interview is taken. I
know it was done by a different person but this is what my point is. Till the
time someone will not read the book he will not understand the beauty of “Life
after Death”. Here is a copy of my Krishna’s book, please go through it and we
will meet again.
BFB - What is
your next project about?
Author - My next
project is about you and me. I mean to say, it will be a complex story of a
middle class couple and their share of happiness and distress. For the first
time I have tried to write about relationships and the hick ups. This book will
deal with the thirst of a middle man, thirst for money and power.
BFB - Any other
projects under progress...?
Author - I am
working on many projects. One of them is about magical realism “Mystic Child”.
One under writing is “A virtual shit called Love”. One project in Hindi will be
completed soon.
BFB - Who will be
the publisher for your upcoming titles?
Author - My next
project is scheduled to be published by Penguin Random House. For other
projects, I am still undergoing discussion with different publishers.
BFB - Mehta Publishing House gave you the first break and they published two of your novels but we did not see any other collaborated project again. Any reason in specific?
Author - Nothing like that, I seriously want to work with them again. The only fact is that we have not finalized on any other project yet, but for sure they are one of my favorite publishers.
BFB - We wish you
all the best and hope to meet again.
Author - Thanks and
wish you the same. I hope to see you again, soon!
