Enthralling the teachers of DAV Public School Thane with horror stories. Had fun post-event where I was Chief Guest for the school event Readers Awards 2025.

At an interview with The Story Project, I was asked what I’d like to change about my childhood. I stand by my answer. #stories #tmys #thestoryproject

Leading a fit, healthy lifestyle is a truly admirable thing. But fit people shaming others who cannot do so for whatever reason—lack of time, health issues, other responsibilities—is disgusting and deplorable.

I continue to amaze myself :) Was vying for sub 3, but the Goa humidity is killing and this surely is the Hell Race because the hydration points were few and far between. But it was great! Running with guys half my age and keeping pace, now I feel I can achieve anything!

And now it's going to be three days of intense writing. Starting work on this short story collection tentatively titled TAILS AND CLAWS, a young adult horror, themed around stories of creatures and monsters. We all love a creature horror, don't we? Releases this Halloween.

My amazing cover designer Onkar Fondekar pointed out this common design element between the cover of Devputra and the latest Conjuring movie poster. Do you spot it too? Genius minds think alike.

How is it that all men's clothing these days is either lazy fit, overlarge, relaxed fit, or something else that resembles a sack? Are they not making clothes for fit men anymore? Or are there not enough fit men left to make a profit for the clothing stores?

My journey with The Fearless Four is fantastic! After the success of PLAYTHINGS and JOYRIDES, I have been asked to pitch an idea for a third book in the series. And I might just have the right idea… equally thrilling and exciting, and even more spooky! Coming up, coming up!!!

While Ola, Uber drivers will cancel rides or impose surcharges at the slightest pretext of rain, hats off to the Swiggy, Zomato riders who will brave the heaviest rains to deliver our food. They deserve our utmost respect. #MumbaiRains

No disrespect to anybody but my cab driver just said the funniest thing that I just have to share. A beggar comes to our cab at the signal and after she leaves, he mutters: "Heroine banke bheek maang rahi hai. Isko kaun bheek dega? Bheek maangne ka bhi tareeka hota hai."

Honestly, if all the ugly political hoardings are removed from Mumbai, our aesthetic value will automatically go up by 500%.

Now that #MumbaiRains have ceased, let's thank the traffic police, city police, sanitation workers, public transport drivers, food vendors, healthcare providers, delivery services, et al who kept Mumbai running despite everything. Without you, this could have been catastrophic.

If you became a writer to only sell copies of your books and become a "bestseller", you chose the wrong vocation. #WritingCommunity

Girls (especially blonde) in 80s American slasher movies: "There's a psycho killer loose in the house? Wait, let me have a nice, long shower first."
