Author Biography
I am not really good at these things, yes these things - the introductions!! But anyways, I'll try. You definitely know my name by now, 'It's on the cover'. Other than that, let's see, I'm the not so prodigal son, an engineer and a MBA grad, so not much different than half of the Indian population. Probably like most of you, I don't remember a thing of what I learned in four years of engineer school and MBA, I think is more of common sense only. Luckily, I remember or apply some of it, since it helps pay the bills and incidentally there are lot when you are a self-published author. The last when I calculated, this book had been a work in progress for ten long years. I started, stopped, started again, failed, started one last time, thought of giving up the whole idea but then finally persisted and end up finishing it. Trust me, it's not easy to write a book. A writer knits a story hundred times denser than what he ends up publishing. So many times, the story just goes haywire, bringing it on track takes its own sweet time. But it's a beautiful journey nonetheless, to end up dying, thinking that there is something of you out there which still lives. If you ever need to contact me, especially to help in your own writing adventures, drop me a mail at ttwtbook@gmail.com. I promise I'll reply. There is another funny story. I remember reading a now popular book and then dropping a mail to now popular author asking for help to publish my own book to which he never replied. I pledge, I'll remain grounded enough to reply to everyone's mail. Trust me, ten years staying on the other side of the line makes you humble!! All the best. Good bye and cheers to life...
