Every show on air begins with a premise, or what we call, a concept. What is the show about? It is a different matter that sooner or later every drama goes the same way. After about 50-100 episodes you cannot make out the difference between a Kyunki and a Kahani. But by then the stickiness factor [...]

About Me
I’m a writer and screenwriter, living in Mumbai. I wasn’t always one though, a writer that is, having experimented with various careers. But then I gave it up to concentrate on writing full time. Since then I’ve written numerous TV serials, several film scripts and a book with another one on the way. People often ask me where I got the courage to give up a wildly successful career for a dream, whether it has been worthwhile, whether it was all smooth sailing, how does one go about it etc. Well, this blog is in response to that.Piggies On the Railway – A Kasthuri Kumar Mystery
When tall, suave, handsome Kaustav Kapoor walks into her office, ditzy private investigator Kasthuri (aka Katie) Kumar has anything but detection on her mind. He is, after all, a scion of Bollywood’s first family—perhaps he has a role for her? Perhaps she will, at last, get to sashay down the red carpet in a designer gown, with flash bulbs following her every move?
But Kapoor’s intentions are much more prosaic: he wishes Katie to trace the heroine of his new blockbuster (and, if Katie’s read the glossies correctly, his life) who is mysteriously AWOL. Despite her misgivings, Katie finds herself unable to refuse the task entrusted to her, and thereon follows a bewildering hunt for the film star across a trail of corpses.
And if that isn’t excitement enough, she has to contend with the maddening and mysterious, but, oh-so-hot, Tejas Deshpande.
The first in a brand new detective series.
COMING OUT IN FEBRUARY 2010
