I have been active on stage as an actor and organizer, a serious hobby since student days and still would love to act if I can manage time.
A Collection of my fifteen short stories is under final editing and do some how find time to complete a novel, a post 9/11 thriller, set in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Europe.
About the Novel: Most of the thrillers have predominately western focus and I am trying to give an Asian perspective, back ground and motivation. Most of the action takes place in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The plot is set in motion by an ambitious, exiled communist hardliner having strong links with Afghan warlords and Pakistani chieftains. Greedy deal makers, antique smugglers and undercover agents complicate the matrix as few innocent lives are changed for ever. The world has changed post 9/11 and it is set to change further by out of power soviet communists, Pakistani tribal chiefs and Afghan warlords. They are aided by determined individuals across the word with pressing need of fast money and dormant ambitions. It’s a dark web of international terrorists, Maoist guerrillas, antique smugglers, greedy deal-makers and undercover agents. Village Dera Baba Ali, Pakistan-India border: A group of India bound smugglers and their camels are dead in the desert with no external injuries. They are hurriedly buried by two shaken survivors. Will they be able to make profits and keep the secret? Zurich: Maria, a glamorous American antique dealer is busy navigating her precious antique out of India. She hates delays and it’s her last chance to repay debts and retire. Nothing can now stop her. New Delhi: Maoist leader comrade Hari Om needs guns for the decisive phase of long over due class struggle. His old flame Olga’s lucrative barter offer to get guns in exchange of organizing safe loading of a smuggled cargo from Pakistan to the capitalist Europe, means two kills with one aim. Jaipur: Patricia Freeman, an undercover agent arrives in the Pink City, to investigate antique smuggler’s suspected links with international terrorists. She is restrained by weak leads and her possessive suitors. Ajeetgarh: Dr. Mitra, the respected archeologist is found dead. He must have been drunk, lost control and slipped to a slow death. A TV journalist was seen with him before he died. Maria wants her traced and eliminated. I have always loved meeting people from different cultures, regions, knowing about them, traveling through - Italy, Holland, Germany, former East Germany, France, Belgium, Austria, Monaco and England. Interests : Innovations, Leadership, Interpersonal Relations, Literature, Theater, Contemporary Social-Cultural-Political issues. Favorite Movies: The Hunt for Red October, Ronin, The Spy Who Loved Me, Godfather, Dr. Zhivago, Bicycle Thief, Ryan's Daughter, Gandhi, Benhur, Pather Panchali, Jalsaghar, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Pyasa and Masoom. Favorite Books: Hotel Rivera, Delhi, English: August, Interpreter of Maladies, A House for Mr. Biswas, The Devil's Wind, Delhi Is Not Far, Night Train at Devli.

Like a suspense thriller, the story is teeming with shadowy actors, sinister intrigues, secrete parlays, jail breaks, armed attacks, dubious traders, bungling policemen, jungle hide outs, guns and stench of death.

The community hall was teeming with English, Black, Hispanic Indian, Pakistanis and varied specimens of the greatly mixed neighborhood. The Indian entourage looked formidable in its strength

“Only if these Thakkars were not so foolishly arrogant, India would have been one…and so many lives would have not been lost in partition, stupid wars and riots....right?”
I kept my bewildered silence, digesting the latest lesson of history.

His behavior was in a sharp contrast with the pompousness of most of Indians. They were so proud of their achievements and gloated about how many Indian homes they had helped establish on the “Gora” British soil.
