Writing

The Homing Pigeons cover

One Book Wonder, Intentionally.

I write because I have to. Writing is a way of thinking without interruption. That's probably why I've published only one book, even though there are more manuscripts that never made it past my drawer. Publishing was never the point. The act itself was.

The Homing Pigeons was published in 2013.

Linear stories are boring. Told in a fractured, non-linear narrative, Aditya and Radhika's journeys loop through time and memory—from the hills of Solan to the chaos of Delhi—colliding and drifting apart in a rhythm as uncertain as love itself. Set against a changing India, it's a story of two lives entwined by longing and separation. A love story that refused to move in a straight line—much like life itself. .

It's a love story, yes. But also a story about drift, choice, and the cost of returning home.

"In a crowd of juvenile love stories... stands out like a stylish bird... elegantly high above the terraces cluttered with badly written romances...takes you on a classy flight...high above the crowd of adolescent bestsellers..."
ASHOK BANKER, INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
"The Homing Pigeons... a remarkable novel by a first-time novelist of immense promise. Poignant in its intensity... often exquisitely rendered. An exceptional achievement that deserves all the plaudits it is sure to garner."
DR. SHASHI THAROOR
