Storytelling has always been more than an art to me — it’s a calling. A divine rebellion. A journey that began not with ink and paper, but with questions that echoed through my soul. Why are some voices glorified and others silenced? Who decides what version of truth becomes history? And what if mythology was never meant to be static, but alive — evolving, breathing, even bleeding?
Each of my books is born from these questions. They don’t merely entertain; they confront. They challenge. They unravel centuries of accepted narratives and ask readers to look deeper — beyond the divine masks, beyond the tales we were told as children, into the grey spaces where dharma, desire, and defiance collide.
I Met Parashurama was the beginning — my first mythological strike. A thought experiment that turned into a journey of rediscovery: What if Parashurama, the immortal warrior sage, still walks among us? From there, my pen refused to rest.
Escaping the Unknown took me — and my readers — into uncharted territory, both physically and psychologically. Set on the mysterious North Sentinel Island, it’s a tale of survival, identity, and the madness that brews when the known world ends.
And then came Dhantasura — not just a book, but a war cry. A mythological epic that dares to ask: What if the so-called demon wasn’t evil, but simply unheard? The first part of this trilogy, War of Justice Against the Gods, sparked something fierce — a reimagining of asura tales, not from the victors’ lens, but from the silenced.
But I’m not done. The saga continues with Dhantasura 2: Unleashing a Revolt Against the Gods — where justice sharpens its sword, and rebellion becomes religion. And beyond that, I’m building worlds, writing sagas, and shaping epics that dive deeper into the mythology that shaped us — and the futures we’re afraid to imagine.
These aren’t just books. They’re the dreams of a child who grew up questioning myths, the fire of a writer who refused to settle for flat heroes and one-dimensional villains. They’re my soul on paper — fierce, flawed, and forever burning.
Where gods fall, demons rise, and truth is never simple.
